TAKE A KOALA BREAK
2014
The year 2014 saw many important events. While some received a warm welcome, some were not quite pleasant:
Here is a compilation of the 2014 events that created a stir and dominated the world’s attention in 2014:

Sir Clive Granger, who was awarded the Nobel prize for economics in 2003…,
and died in 2009:
(10 things that happen after you die: No 1: Finally, you stop getting rejections from weird referees, the other 9 things are not so important)
Isn’t it amazing that even Nobel laureates at the end they die?
I WILL DIE A SOLEMN by Kostas Ouranis Translated by Alex Moskios
I will die a solemn Autumnal evening In my chilly bedroom, like I lived: alone. In my last agony I’ll hear the rain, And the street noises that come through my pane.
I will die a solemn Autumnal sun down In the midst of old furniture and books scattered around; They’ll find me on my bed; they’ll call the police; They’ll bury me like a man with no history to expound.
One of the friends in our weekly card game Will ask while playing: “What happened to Ouranis? Does any one know? I haven’t seen him for days!” Will reply another: “Don’t you know? Ouranis just died!”
For a second they’ll stop, holding cards in their hands,
They will move their heads in some kind of solemn repose, They will say: “What is man! Yesterday he was alive!” And without another word they will continue their game.
One of my colleagues in the “Psila” will write That “Prematurely has died overseas Mr. Ouranis, A young man well known in our circles, who only Recently published a collection of promising poems.”
And that will be my life’s only eulogy. In the village my old folks will be sad and heart broken, They will hold a memorial mass with priests to spare, With my friends in attendance and the foes who would care.
I will die a dreary Autumnal sun down In a rented room in the noisy Paris, And a Katie, presuming I’ve forgotten her for another, Will send me a letter and, though dead, she’ll insult me.
Ouranis (1850 – 1953) was born in Constantinople. He received his Elementary and High School educations in Leonidio and Nafplion, Greece and Constantinople, Turkey, respectively; and his college education in Paris, France. In 1920, he was appointed Greek Consul General of Lisbon, Portugal; and in 1924 he settled in Athens, where he subsequently held a number of prominent journalistic and managerial positions in a number of newspapers and magazines there. He died in the Athens area on 12 June 1953.
His poetic works published prior to his death include: “Like Dreams” (1909), “Spleen” (1912), and “Nostalgias” (1920). He is known as the last Greek romanticist of the modern times.

In 2oo3 Robert [the one and only (the one that is in New York and not the one that once upon a time was in the Old York)] Engle and Clife Granger were awarded the Nobel prize in Economic Sciences:
Robert F. Engle “for methods of analyzing economic time series with time-varying volatility (ARCH)” and Clive W.J. Granger “for methods of analyzing economic time series with common trends (cointegration)”.
Fifty years earlier George Seferis became the first Greek Nobel Laureate:
“WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?” : GEORGE SEFERIS IN CONVERSATION WITH EDMUND KEELEY:
INTERVIEWER
But don’t you feel out of place among so many scientists? So many historians?
SEFERIS
No, because I am attracted by people whose interests are not in my own area.
INTERVIEWER
How about the relation of the Greek poet to his particular historical tradition? You once said that there is no ancient Greece in Greece. What did you mean by that exactly?
SEFERIS
I meant Greece is a continuous process. In English the expression “ancient Greece” includes the meaning of “finished,” whereas for us Greece goes on living, for better or for worse; it is in life, has not expired yet. That is a fact. One can make the same argument when one discusses the pronunciation of ancient Greek. Your scholars in America or in England or in France may be quite right in adopting the Erasmic pronunciation: for them Greek is a dead language; but for us it is another story. The fact is, you consider that ancient Greek has terminated its function at a certain point, and this enables you to pronounce it—with my regrets—in an arbitrary way.
INTERVIEWER
Then you obviously see the Greek tradition in language, as well as in other things, as a continuous process. That is not the belief of some classical and Byzantine scholars in this country—and, I suppose, elsewhere.
SEFERIS
You know why that happens? Because the subject, the history, of Greece is so large that each scholar limits himself to a certain period or branch, and nothing exists outside of it. For example, Gibbon considered that a thousand years of life were a decline. How can a people be in decline for a thousand years? After all, between the Homeric poems and the birth of Christ eight hundred years elapsed—or something like that—and then presumably there were a thousand years of decline.

Obituary: Daniel Nelson, GSB
(The University of Chicago Chronicle, May 11 1995, Vol. 14, No. 17)
Daniel B. Nelson, Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Business and a Hyde Park resident, died of lung cancer May 4 at the Hospitals. He was 36.
Nelson joined the University faculty in 1988 after receiving his Ph.D. in economics from MIT. He devoted his career to constructing and improving models for predicting future variability in financial data. He also studied the origins of the Great Depression.
The recipient of many academic honors and grants, Nelson was a faculty research fellow at the prestigious National Bureau of Economic Research at the time of his death. He also was serving as associate editor of both the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics and the Review of Financial Studies.
“Dan loved his research and teaching with the same fierce intensity that he loved his family,” said Robert Hamada, Dean of the GSB. “He was a well-respected teacher who always scored high in ratings from students.”
Nelson taught M.B.A. and Ph.D. classes in investments, applied business forecasting, econometrics and empirical methods in finance.
A popular speaker at academic workshops and conferences, he made more than 70 speaking appearances throughout the United States during the past seven years.
In addition to his research on models of time-varying asset volatility and on the Great Depression, he studied binomial options and bond pricing models. His research in progress included “Forecasting Returns Volatility With Statistical Models” and “Interpreting Chi-Square Tests in Asset Pricing Models.”
Nelson was a member of the American Economic Association, the American Finance Association and the American Statistical Association. He was also affiliated with the Economic Society, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the Society for Financial Studies.
He received two consecutive research grants from the National Science Foundation, in 1991 and 1993. The most recent grant enabled him to do research measuring risk in financial asset markets.
A prolific author, Nelson wrote dozens of academic articles dealing with financial and econometric topics, and his research appeared in many of the field’s leading publications. In addition, he served as a referee for 23 academic journals, including the American Economic Review and the Journal of Finance.
He is survived by his wife, Therese Allen Nelson, Manager of Special Projects for Administrative Information Systems, and their three children, Carolyn, Scott and Allen.
