CHRONOLOGY
1995–2000
The series was conceived in December 1995 during a visit of Jan Magnus to
Peter Phillips at Yale
University. Scott
Parris at Cambridge University
Press
was quickly convinced this was a good idea. Contracts were signed, emails
were exchanged, letters were written, and plans were made.
Contents of the first few volumes were laid out and prospective authors
agreed. A tentative start was made on Volume 2 (Statistics) by
Heijmans and Magnus, and Volume 4 (The Linear Model: Empirical
Applications) by van Soest and Verbeek.
New energy to the project was provided by Karim Abadir during a visit in
March 2000 to Tilburg
University. Karim
joined the existing editors, and agreed to co-author Volume 1 (Matrix
Algebra) and Volume 2 (Statistics). Paolo Paruolo agreed to
write Volume 3 (The Linear Model: Theory).
2001–2002
The six authors of Volumes 1–4 came together at a festive launching
meeting, 20–21 January 2001, at Jan Magnus's house in Amsterdam. We
discussed the contents of the various volumes, problems of notation,
problems relating to LaTeX and Scientific Workplace, and many other things.
We were happy to discover that we were in agreement on almost everything,
and we drank Champagne
in order to mark this agreement. Photos
Since we all
believed that close integration of the first four volumes was important, we
met again, 17-18 August 2001, at CentER, Tilburg University
and at Arthur van Soest's house. Photos
A third meeting was held in Varese,
Italy,
9–11 November 2001 with Abadir, Paruolo and Magnus. Photos
2002–2003
The Editors (Abadir, Phillips, and Magnus) met in York during June 2002 for intensive
sessions to discuss detailed contents of the volumes under way and to plan
the content of future volumes
Subsequent semi-annual and annual meetings of the series editors have been
held since 2004. The editors have taken up responsibility for individual
volumes in the series and are working with Cambridge to see these volumes
through to completion.
