Abstract

Econometrics studies quantitative and qualitative relationships between variables using probabilistic and statistical methods. Unlike machine learning, econometric modeling is primarily focused on identifying causal relationships and ensuring interpretability of results rather than on making predictions, which makes it possible to answer the questions about the direction and strength of the influence of one variables on others.
