We distinguish between economic modelling (microfounded) and econometric modelling (ad hoc). The two modelling approaches are complementary to each other for their comparative advantages in causality identification and forecasting performance. Popular models of the two approaches are illustrated and compared. We also propose an eclectic approach to combine the two approaches in one analysis framework.
