The first book in the new series Surveys of Recent Research in Economics . Up-to-date comprehensive surveys from some of the leading scholars in Econometrics. Each survey uses empirical examples to illustrate the issue at hand. Specifically written to bridge the gap between textbook and specialist journal contributions.

5. Inference in Cointegrating Models: UK M1 Revisited: Dr. Jurgen A. Doornik, Professor David F. Hendry, and Dr. Bent Nielsen (all Nuffield College, Oxford).

6. An Econometric Analysis of I(2) Variables: Professor Niels Haldrup (Aarhus University).

7. Approximations to the Asymptotic Distributions of Cointegration Tests: Dr. Jurgen A. Doornik (Nuffield College, Oxford).

8. Cointegration Analysis of Seasonal Time Series: Professor Philip-Hans Franses (University of Rotterdam) and Professor Michael McAleer (University of Western Australia and Adjunct Professor, Australian National University).

Comprising of seven up-to-date comprehensive surveys from leading scholars in Econometrics, this book follows the format of the highly successful book, Surveys in Econometrics, edited by Oxley, et al. (Blackwell Publishers 1995).

This collection is a unique resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students on quantitative/econometrics courses, as well as a wider range of academics and professional economists.

The contributions consider a range of contemporary topics from the area of cointegration and unit root testing where empirical examples are used wherever possible to illustrate the issue at hand. The topics range from issues associated with seasonality and cointegration, to panel unit root tests and the econometrics of I(2) processes.
