Professor James MacKinnon
Welcome to my professional home page!
My e-mail address is mackinno [AT] queensu.ca
This year I am teaching
ECON 850 in the fall
and ECON 882 in the winter.
Thanks to an agreement with
Oxford University Press, both
Estimation and Inference in Econometrics and
Econometric Theory and Methods
may be downloaded as PDF files.
I have been at Queen's since 1975, where I am at present the
Sir
Edward Peacock Professor of Econometrics.
From June, 2001 until June, 2002, I was the President of the
Canadian Economics Association.
I gave the
Presidential Address at the
University of
Calgary on June 1, 2002. As President-Elect, I organized the
2001 Annual Meeting of the CEA, which was
held at McGill University in Montreal from May 31 to June 3, 2001.
Morten Nielsen and I organized the twenty-ninth meeting of the
Canadian Econometric
Study Group on October 26-28, 2012. This was the third meeting
to be held at Queen's. I also organized the fourteenth meeting of the
CESG, which was held in Kingston on September 26-28, 1997. Charles
Beach and I organized the very first CESG meeting in 1984.
My curriculum vitae is available as a PDF file.

contains links to many of my papers, including older papers not linked to on
this page.
My
Google Scholar profile contains a much more
complete list of papers and citations.
Here is a subset of my publications. Older papers are included only
