Editorial Reviews
Review
"Ragnar Frisch was perhaps the seminal figure in the transformation of economics into a quantitative science, equally at home in modern economic theory and in econometric methodology. A symposium to represent the breadth and depth of his interests faces a daunting task. This one meets the challenge fully, with a combination of expositions of Frisch's work and outstanding new work which show the current importance of Frisch's program." Kenneth J. Arrow, Stanford University
