On Lawrence R. Klein's Contributions to Economics
本文是应诺贝尔经济学奖委员会请求撰写的调查,分三部分记录和评估克莱因在经济学理论、统计方法和计量经济模型构建方面的贡献及其对经济学界的影响。
This survey was originally prepared at the request of the Prize Committee for the Nobel Prize in Economics.** It constitutes a record and assessment of the work and influence of Lawrence Klein. Rather than simply attempting to catalogue his work seriatim, it is divided into three main sections. Section I looks at his work as a chronological story which is intended to put into historical context the vast list of his published work. In Section II his contributions to economics are reviewed under three headings of economic theory, statistical methods and econometric model building. Finally, Section III attempts a broader assessment of his influence on the economics profession.
