What is Econometrics
The field of econometrics involves the utilization of statistical techniques to analyze economic data with the objective of providing empirical evidence to economic relationships. More specifically, it refers to "the quantitative analysis of actual economic phenomena based on the concurrent development of theory and observation, related by appropriate methods of inference." In a textbook that provides an introduction to economics, econometrics is described as a tool that enables economists to "sift through mountains of data to extract simple relationships." In the field of econometrics, Jan Tinbergen is identified as one of the two founding fathers. That other individual, Ragnar Frisch, was also the one who first used the phrase in the manner that it is used today.
