Summary: This book presents recent research on robustness in econometrics. Robust data processing techniques i.e., techniques that yield results minimally affected by outliers and their applications to real-life economic and financial situations are the main focus of this book. The book also discusses applications of more traditional statistical techniques to econometric problems. Econometrics is a branch of economics that uses mathematical (especially statistical) methods to analyze economic systems, to forecast economic and financial dynamics, and to develop strategies for achieving desirable econo
