Bio/Research

I have been at Queen's since 1975, where I am at present the Sir Edward Peacock Professor of Econometrics and Head of the Economics Department. I am the Software Review Editor of the Journal of Applied Econometrics, and I maintain the JAE Data Archive. If you are interested in writing software reviews for the JAE, please get in touch with me. I am always looking for software to review and people to review it.

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.

I also organized the fourteenth meeting of the Canadian Econometric Study Group, which was held in Kingston on Sept. 26 to 28, 1997. This was the second CESG meeting to be held at Queen's. Charles Beach and I organized the very first meeting in 1984.

I use the Linux operating system on my personal computers, and I have written a review of Debian GNU/Linux, which is described in this on-line book. The review is available in here in PDF format. When I installed Debian 3.0 on a then new IBM T22 notebook computer, I wrote up a brief story of how I did it.
