4.- Curriculum vitae: The autobiography of Prof. Klein at the Nobel Prizes web site is an interesting reading for all economists interested in the history of the main leaders of economic thought during the 20th century (www.nobel.se). He was born in Omaha, Nebraska and studied at public school system of Omaha, Los Angeles City College, University of California at Berkeley, and at MIT where he completed his dissertation with Paul Samuelson as supervisor. Then he decided to join the Econometrics team at the Cowles Commission of the University of Chicago, where the director, Jacob Marschak, gave him the challenge of reviving Jan Tinbergen´s early attempts of the specification of an econometric model for the USA for the first half of the 20th century. After the experience of building his first models for the USA, he travelled to Ottawa (Canada) where he helped to build the first models of the Canadian economy, and also to Europe: Norway, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, after his marrying the economist Sonia Adelson, whom he met as a colleague at the Cowles Commission. He returned to America in 1948 and joined the staff of the National Bureau of Economic Research on a postdoctoral grant. There he made some econometric research on production functions that opened up very interesting approaches that have stood the test of time and form a substantial part of macro-econometrics together with the Keynesian approach by the demand side that he so well developed. He also joined the staff of the Survey Research Centre of the University of Michigan where he restarted his work on macro-econometric models and prepared with his student Arthur Goldberger the historical Klein-Goldberger Model. After four years at Michigan he went to Oxford, UK, to work on the data from the Oxford Savings Surveys and also to build a model of the UK. In 1958 he returned to America and joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania where he have studied, taught, researched, and conducted teams of researchers from them to now. He received the Nobel Prize on Economics in 1980. Some of his most remarkable contributions are the Wharton Models, the Project Link, and models for the USSR and China. He has been consultant for the highest levels of public officials committees on economic matters at national and international level and his research have contributed in high degree to foster economic development and stability in many countries.
