Brackets

Can someone please help me with the following issue.
I've explained two different types of solutions to a problem. Now I want to explain that I've picked 'lagged independent variables' as the solution which I'm going to use. Does my sentence make any sense?
Furthermore, is it okay to refer to other parts the report in brackets like I do in this sentence?

"Economic (see chapter 4) and econometric (see footnote 42) motives have led to the decision to use lagged independent variables."

Pvunderink Furthermore, is it okay to refer to other parts the report in parentheses like I do in this sentence? Brackets: [ and ] Parentheses: ( and ) Parentheses are fine. In the case of a footnote, just use footnote notation.
