This is the seventh book in a series of discussions about the great
minds in the history and theory of finance. While the series
addresses the contributions of scholars in our understanding of
financial decisions and markets, this seventh book describes how
econometrics developed and how its underlying assumptions created
the underpinning of much of modern financial theory. The author
shows that the theorists of econometrics were a mix of
mathematicians and cosmologists, entrepreneurs, economists and
financial scholars. The author demonstrates that by laying down the
foundation of empirical analysis, they also forever determined the
way in which we think about financial returns and the vocabulary we
employ to describe them. Through this volume, the reader can
discover the life stories, inspirations, and theories of Carl
Friedrich Gauss, Francis Galton, Karl Pearson, Ronald Aylmer
Fisher, Harold Hotelling, Alfred Cowles III, Ragnar Frisch, and
Trygve Haavelmo, specifically. We learn how each theorist made an
intellectual leap simply by thinking about a conventional problem
in an unconventional way.
