The journal ’Computational Statistics and Data Analysis’ aims to have regular issues on computational econometrics (Amendola et al., 2006a,b; Belsley and Kontoghiorghes, 2003, 2005; Belsley et al., 2007). Of particular interest are papers in important areas of econometric applications where both computational techniques and numerical methods have a major impact. The goal is to provide sources o...

In “Economics and Reality” (1997) Tony Lawson advocates a perspective on social reality labelled critical realism. Critical realism maintains that strict regularities between observable events are the exception rather than the rule in the social world. This is a negative argument for econometrics which is seen to rely on the identification of such regularities. By contrast, the notion of explan...
