Sir Clive W.J. Granger Tribute
We mourn the loss of our Nobel Laureate Sir Clive W.J. Granger who died
at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California.
Clive's great breakthroughs concerned the relationships between
different financial or economic variables over time. He showed that
traditional statistical methods could be misleading if applied to
variables that tend to wander over time without returning to some
long-run resting point. He also demonstrated that many variables display
similar long-run patterns that can be exploited in statistical analysis. Combining several of these variables can create a joint variable that
returns to a resting point, allowing traditional methods to be used. For
example, economic forces such as uneven technological progress cause
consumption and income to grow over time, but other economic forces,
such as constraints on budgets, make them follow similar paths.
