Dear Mr Mitra,
May be, that you feel in agreement with one of the following possible statements:
1. Professor Hicks in his admirable book on the trade cycles wrongly bases his model on the acceleration principle.
2. Professor Tintner in his Econometrics, page 276, wrongly subjects to statistical test a definition equation - his equation (4) - of which the coefficients are known a priori.
Yours very sincerely,
