Breaking news! [September, 2021] Thanks to an agreement with Oxford University Press, both Estimation and Inference in Econometrics and Econometric Theory and Methods may now be downloaded as PDF files.

I have been at Queen's since 1975, where I am at present the Sir Edward Peacock Professor of Econometrics. I founded and still maintain the Journal of Applied Econometrics Data Archive.

From June, 2001 until June, 2002, I was the President of the Canadian Economics Association. I gave the Presidential Address at the University of Calgary on June 1, 2002. As President-Elect, I organized the 2001 Annual Meeting of the CEA, which was held at McGill University in Montreal from May 31 to June 3, 2001.

Morten Nielsen and I organized the twenty-ninth meeting of the Canadian Econometric Study Group on October 26-28, 2012. This was the third meeting to be held at Queen's. I also organized the fourteenth meeting of the CESG, which was held in Kingston on September 26-28, 1997. Charles Beach and I organized the very first CESG meeting in 1984.

My curriculum vitae is available as a PDF file.
