Abstract: Over the period 1964–1970, graduate students of Rex Bergstrom at the University
of Auckland in New Zealand developed econometric computer programs to conduct
estimation and inference for dynamic linear models, dynamic simultaneous
equation models and systems of linear stochastic differential equations. Linear
and nonlinear multiple equation regression programs were written in Fortran; and
simulation experiments and empirical applications were performed on two small
IBM mainframe computers.
