I wonder where they got the digital version, as I’ve been unable to locate this version, although it […]
One of the examples of spurious regression mentioned in Phillips 1998, quoted by Eduardo Zorita at CPD and previously here by me, was taken from Hendry 1980, from an article entitled “Econometrics – Alchemy or Science?”. Hendry is a very eminent professor of economics and the article proved to be as interesting as its title. […]

Sasowsky, :calling for reviewers to ensure that computer methods are properly documented and archived as part of the review process.
