On October 25th, colleagues, family, friends, and admirers of Lawrence R. Klein gathered on campus to attend a colloquium conducted in his honor. Entitled “Macroeconomic Measurement, Theory, Prediction, and Policy,” the event drew more 100 attendees from all over the world, including Economics Nobel Laureate Christopher A. Sims. One of the highlights of the day was the unveiling of the Klein Legacy Display gifted by Kanta Marwah, Klein’s first female Ph. D. student. The display, which features notes in Klein’s own hand, is installed in the Klein Conference Room in the McNeil Building at the University of Pennsylvania.
