Views

My work in applied econometrics has gradually developed from a focus on individual macro-level behavioural equations to a concern with the linkages between econometric model systems and their application. I have been greatly concerned with stretching the limits of macro-modelling in the direction of models of industries and commodity markets. This calls for a broad scope, not only with respect to the structural form and estimation of relationships — i. est use of engineering data and models and use of sectoral accounting systems — but also with respect to spelling out the structure of the critical linkages between various models.

Thus recent work has involved links between the national economy and sector commodity models, linking commodities into the world model system, global models between producer and consumer (also debtor and creditor) countries, and most recently a concern with the impact of industrial policies within countries and on their international linkages. This leads naturally to a concern with the study of the restructuring of the world economy.
