THE ET INTERVIEW: PROFESSOR W. ERWIN DIEWERT

Erwin Diewert has an exceptionally distinguished career as one of the world’s most respected economists. His remarkable publication record speaks for itself. He is in his fifth decade of publishing in the leading journals of the economics profession, continuing to make significant influential contributions. While he has made his mark on an uncommonly diverse range of fields in economics, he is perhaps best known for his contributions to duality theory, index number theory, user cost of capital, functional form specification, international comparisons, international trade, and revealed preference theory. Besides his major impact on the academic literature, he also has valuable engagement with national statistical offices and organisations such as the IMF and World Bank, in particular through contributing significantly to a series of manuals that are used to guide statistical agency practice in both developed and developing countries.
