Sir Clive Granger has died at the age of 74. There are some nice obit­u­ar­ies in the New York Times and the Daily Tele­graph. Also, his Wikipedia page has some good infor­ma­tion. I met Clive on sev­eral occa­sions and he was “a scholar and a gen­tle­man”, a remark­ably hum­ble man given his out­stand­ing achieve­ments and some­one who was always will­ing to help young researchers. The world of fore­cast­ing will miss him.
