Microfit is an interactive econometric software package for microcomputers, and is specifically designed for econometric modelling of time series data. This manual describes what Microfit is, how it works, and what it can do. It makes recent developments in econometric models accessible to students, researchers, and commercial users with its clear presentation of the methods and algorithms underlying the program's features. In addition to a discussion of econometric methods, the manual also contains tutorial lessons, intended to complement the more traditional econometric texts used in quantitative economic courses.

(This is a critical assessment of the rational expectation...)
This is a critical assessment of the rational expectations hypothesis from theoretical as well as empirical perspectives. It argues that the rational expectations and adaptive expectations hypotheses represent two different extremes, both of which are based on untenable assumptions and are empirically unsatisfactory. The author argues that a greater reliance on survey data on expectations, and the formulation of models that explicitly take account of the learning process are necessary, and proposes a new method for quantification of categorical survey data. The book covers a range of topics and brings together the diverse econometric contributions recently made in the areas of identification, estimation and hypothesis testing in a wide variety of rational expectations models.
