Econometrics itself is the application of statistical and mathematical methods to economic data to test hypotheses, estimate relationships, and produce forecasts. It combines economic theory, data, and statistical inference to quantify economic phenomena and evaluate models. Core techniques include regression analysis, time series modeling, panel data methods, instrumental variables, and causal inference approaches.

Common applications of econometrics include policy evaluation, demand and supply estimation, macroeconomic forecasting, risk analysis, and program impact assessment. The field has developed alongside advances in computational power and data availability, and it draws on methods from statistics, probability theory, and computer science.

Practitioners use a variety of software environments—such as R, Stata, Python, and specialized packages—to clean data, estimate models, test assumptions, and visualize results. Key historical figures associated with the formal development of econometrics include Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen, though the field continues to evolve with contributions from many disciplines.
