Econometrics and psychometrics: A survey of communalities

  • Published:
Psychometrika Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Several themes which are common to both econometrics and psychometrics are surveyed. The themes are illustrated by reference to permanent income hypotheses, simultaneous equation models, adaptive expectations and partial adjustment schemes, and by reference to test score theory, factor analysis, and time-series models.
