The Econometric Work of Gerhard Tintner

  • Chapter
Economic Models, Estimation and Risk Programming: Essays in Honor of Gerhard Tintner

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Operations Research and Mathematical Economics ((LNE,volume 15))

Abstract

Gerhard Tintner was born September 29, 1907 of Austrian parents in Nurnberg, Germany. He studied economics, statistics and law at the University of Vienna, where he received his Doctor’s degree in 1929. In 1930 he spent some time in research work at the London School of Economics. Then, under a fellowship extended to him by the Rockefeller Foundation, he took postdoctoral work at Harvard University, Columbia University, the University of California (Berkeley) and Stanford University in the United States, at the Institut Henri Poincare in Paris, France and at Cambridge University in England. By training and by temperament, Tintner has been able to collate ideas from many sources; his professional work bears the mark of his own originality and has been singularly free from the stamp of a particular school or tradition.

Prepared for a Festschrift in honor of Gerhard Tintner, December 6, 1968. I am indebted to Karl A. Fox for observations on Tintner’s career at Iowa State University and for valuable additions to the introductory and concluding sections of my original draft.
