The fortress of econometrics has often been laid siege to from one or a few sides only.According to their inspiration or inclination, authors have laid stress on model specification, parameter estimation, testing and prediction or more generally the use of models (prediction in particular being a rare bird in econometric literature).Special topics, such as errors in the variables, missing observations, multi-dimensional data, time-series analysis, dynamic specification, spatial autocorrelation, were dealt with as and when the need arose.No econometric exercises will ever be complete.Nevertheless, in setting up such an exercise as part of an operational economic investigation, one may reasonably be expected to try and encompass in it as many aspects of econometric modelling as may present themselves.This se ries is devoted to the publication of work which, as far as possible, addresses all aspects of a "complete econometric modelling" approach; for instance, spatial econometrics or policy optimisation studies which account explicitly for the specification, estimation or analysis of components of those models in the widest sense, including any complementary components from the environment in which the economic model must operate.The very objective of the se ries may limit its extensions; but as Andre Gide put it (Les faux monnayeurs), "iI est bon de suivre sa pente, pourvu que ce soit en montant".
