経済世界のアロメトリー : "見せかけの相関はなぜ生じるか?" <論文>

Most of the statistical data have power functional relationships with the size of the population, and therefore these statistical data fall in the powerfunctional relationships each other. These relations were analyzed through the derivations based on the simple model, and the law underlying these relations was called as "the Law of Power Function". These power functional relationships necessarily cause the spurious correlations in the regression analyses. These analyses cast doubt the basic methodology of the econometrical analyses.
