- Title
Memories of Monroe? econometric computing in the early 1960's.
- Authors
Desai, Meghnad
- Abstract
This short article describes, from a personal perspective, the state of the art of econometric computing during the transitional period of the early 1960s when desktop calculating machines and the electronic computer were both used by economists very nearly indifferently. Essentially, the choice at this time was between spending time learning to program and then employ a computer versus perhaps the same amount of time making the calculations as was done before the computer using a calculating machine.
