Abstract

I first met Rolf and Ana Maria Mantel at Yale in the early 1960s. I was then teaching at Yale. Both Rolf and Ana Maria were in my graduate econometrics course in the fall of 1964 as auditors, if my memory serves me right. Econometrics in those days consisted mostly of the standard linear regression and simultaneous equation models of the Cowles Commission and the then new tobit models. Analytical developments in theory and econometrics have been dramatic in the past four decades, and Rolf, although he also developed an interest in applied theory and policy, remained a distinguished theorist.
