William Greene is a Professor of Economics and Statistics at the Stern School of Business, New York and the Editor of the Journal of Productivity Analysis and of the Foundations and Trends in Econometrics. With a BSc in Business Administration (1972), from the Ohio State University, he obtained a MA in Economics, two years later, at the University of Wisconsin, taking him another couple of years to complete, at the same University, his PhD, now in Econometrics, the field where he has become a distinguished academic. As a professor, he started his career at the Cornell University where he stayed for 5 years before moving to the Stern School of Business where he is still working today. Hardly any graduate Economics student has not come across his prominent manual Econometric Analysis, now at its 7^th edition and already translated into seven different languages.

 

Nonetheless, his contribution to the teaching and the studying of Econometrics goes far beyond the Econometric Analysisand can be found not only in other manuals, but also in software packages and seminal articles published in the most influential academic journals.
