Abstract
This paper will survey recent developments in both the econometrics and the theory of nonlinear dynamic modelling in economics. In contrast to the usual order we shall consider econometric techniques first, partly because many of these are somewhat atheoretical in terms of any associated economic theory. To the extent that there is associated theory it will be noted in passing with the econometric discussion.
