Extract

It is a challenging task to review the research carried out by Professor Sargan which has covered such a broad range of areas and which offers general and unifying approaches to tackling problems and to obtaining results.I can only apologize for my audacity in accepting to deliver this laudatio. In order to remedy the limitation of my resources, I have benefited from Manuel Arellano's help and I have used the papers by David Hendry and Ken Wallis (1984), Peter Phillips (1985), and Esfandiar Maasoumi (1988a, 1988b). These papers review and summarize the works of the common master, who is considered to be one of the major contributors to Econometrics; in the words of Professor T.W. Anderson: “one of the most distinguished econometricians of our generation.” I am grateful to Peter Phillips and Grayham Mizon for their comments in preparing the English version of this laudatio.
