When John Maynard Keynes likened Jan Tinbergen’s early work in econometrics to black magic and alchemy, he was expressing a widely held view of a new discipline. However, even after half a century of practical work and theorizing by some of the most accomplished social scientists, Keynes’ comments are still repeated today. This book assesses the foundations and development of econometrics and sets out a basis for the reconstruction of the foundations of econometric inference by examining the various interpretations of probability theory that underlie econometrics.

The idea that simplicity matters in science is as old as science itself, with the much cited example of Ockham’s Razor. A problem with Ockham’s Razor is that nearly everybody seems to accept it, but few are able to define its exact meaning and to make it operational in a non-arbitrary way. Using a multidisciplinary perspective including philosophers, mathematicians, econometricians and economists, this monograph examines simplicity by asking six questions: What is meant by simplicity? How is simplicity measured? Is there an optimum trade-off between simplicity and goodness-of-fit?

Moreover, it broaches those (sometimes) neglected sectors and issues, at least at the international level, such as the role of trade unions, professional associations, local authorities, as well as relationships among stakeholders and trusts.
