Review text

This frank interview is quick and easy to read, with a 125-item bibliography. For mathematicians the advice (meant for econometrics students) is pertinent: ``I think we should train students on real world problems of interest -- ``problems that arise in practice in economics, and in econometrics, not those of physics. ``Many theoretical papers are being written, and if there is any aplication, it is the use of some data as a `peg' on which to `hang' the theory. Maddala's answers give a clear view of the accidental nature of life's major decisions, on chances taken or let slip, of joys and regrets, of the need to think first about the what and the why of life and work.
