| Summary: | I review the part played by John Denis Sargan in the formation of the "LSE approach" to dynamic econometric modeling. Despite his unassuming demeanor and his location at LSE--which had earlier dismissed a substantive role for econometric evidence--Sargan nevertheless radically altered the econometric approach of a generation, establishing a powerful approach to empirical modeling of economic time series. His main contributions to econometric methodology, and the subsequent research, are discussed as a complement to the other papers in this memorial volume. |
