Introduction to measurement with theory

摘要

This special issue on "Measurement with Theory" was originally proposed by our coeditor, the famous econometrician, Arnold Zellner. He worked with us very actively at all stages of our role in producing this special issue, which is in a subject area that has been important to Arnold's research throughout his eminent career. Arnold died on August 11, 2010, only a few days after the final accepted version of the special issue was completed. Sadly he will not get to see in print this Journal of Econometrics special issue, which was his idea and for which he should get the primary credit. We shall miss that great man.
