Synopsis

This is the second of three volumes containing edited versions of papers and commentaries presented at invited symposium sessions of the Tenth World Congress of the Econometric Society, held in Shanghai in August 2010.

Written by the leading specialists in their fields, these volumes provide a unique, accessible survey of progress on the discipline.
