C - Mathematical and Quantitative Methods

Economists whose primary contribution is a mathematical, statistical or computational method applied to economic questions, including econometrics, optimization and input-output analysis. Belongs here: founders of econometric modeling, linear and nonlinear programming applied to economic planning, and the statistical methodology behind national accounts and economic measurement. Does not belong here: an economist who used mathematics extensively within a substantive field such as general equilibrium or growth theory, who groups instead under that field.
