The Teaching of Economic Statistics in the Economic Faculties

Abstract

This work contains a review of some problems affecting the identity of Economic Statistics and other subjects of the same scientific sector and the correlative frontiers linked with the content evolution. The analysis is connected with the reorganisation of the Degree in Economics, particularly with the presence of the subjects included in the group of Economic Statistics in the renewed curricula. Taking into account the results of a scientific Meeting recently organised by prof. Predetti, special attention is devoted by the-Author to the essential requirements of the contents in the subject programs characterising the group of Economic Statistics in relation to the neighbouring branches of learning, to say Methodological Statistics and Econometrics.
