Dear Dr Hansen,
Thank you very much i or ,/oura of October 21. I think
your program is excellent and it is eepeciall- your formulation
about how the ooiaplate model raay come In \
I tiiink, is a happy
one» The models we us© are models in v;hteh v;e 'jelleve",either because
they represent a priority opinion or becmiee they have, at least
partly been tasted statistically» By thle term of yours you avoid
going into all econometric discussion on the reliability of the
models As I already wrote to you I think you went into several
points which I had not touched and your work therefore has its own
importance.
I am glad you met Sdioutan and found him Btimulatlng.
So do I,
