As most econometricians will readily agree, the data used in applied econometrics seldom provide accurate measurements for the pertinent theory's variables. Here, Bernt Stigum offers the first systematic and theoretically sound way of accounting for such inaccuracies. He and a distinguished group of contributors bridge econometrics and the philosophy of economics--two topics that seem worlds apart. They ask: How is a science of economics possible? The answer is elusive. Economic theory seems to be about abstract ideas or, it might be said, about toys in a toy community. How can a...

In this volume we present some o the papers that were delivered at FUR-82 - the First International Con erence on Foundations o Utility and Risk Theory in Oslo, June 1982. The purpose o the con erence was to provide a orum within which scientists could report on interesting applications o modern decision theory and exchange ideas about controversial issues in the oundations o the theory o choice under un certainty. With that purpose in mind we have selected a mixture of applied and theoretical papers that we hope will appeal to a wide spectrum o readers rom graduate students in social science...
