Abstract

Model validation in economics is more difficult than in other disciplines, especially at the macroeconomic level. It is not subject to controlled experiments because it involves independent individual decision-makers and their interactions in the context of background conditions, such as changes business cycles and technological change, many of which are random or otherwise difficult to predict. Economics is more of an “observational” discipline like meteorology, astronomy, or sociology, and must therefore use approaches such as statistical analysis of data or simulation approaches.

Econometric methods are often considered superior because they involve more extensive data (e.g., a time series, as opposed to data for a single year) and yield “goodness of fit” measures.

“Overfitting is an issue that exists in in statistics and machine learning. It occurs when a statistical model describes random error or noise instead of the underlying relationship. Overfitting generally occurs when a model is excessively complex, such as having too many parameters relative to the number of observations. A model that has been overfit will generally have poor predictive performance, as it can exaggerate minor fluctuations in the data.”
