This book provides an account of the Cambridge Multisectoral Dynamic Model, based on a highly disaggregated macroeconometric model. The first part covers the econometric theory and methodology, the organization of the data, the structure of the model, estimation and computer programming. The second part examines the modeling of different aspects of the system in detail and describes the relationships used, the parameter estimates and the results obtained. The model has been developed by the Cambridge Growth Project and is unique among models of the UK economy in its level of disaggregation.

Since the first statement of the aims and methods of the Cambridge Growth Project, which appeared in 1962 as the first number of our former series A Programme for Growth, we have produced a volume on the state ofthe model and on projections derived from it at roughly five year intervals: Exploring 1970 (1965), Exploring 1972 (1970) and now the present book. A comparison of these publications shows the directions in which we have developed our model. First, we have been able to model more parts of the economy and to model them better; and, second, by adopting a targets-and-instruments...

The emergence of M6ssbauer spectroscopy as an important experi mental technique for the study of solids has resulted in a wide range of applications in chemistry, physics, metallurgy and biophysics. This book is intended to summarize the elementary principles of the technique at a level appropriate to the advanced student or experienced chemist requiring a moderately comprehensive but basically non-mathematical introduction. Thus the major part of the book is concerned with the practical applications of Mossbauer spectroscopy, using carefully selected examples to illustrate the concepts. The...
