Econometric Theory Award: 1999

---

Dear Katsuto:

Congratulations! I am delighted to inform you that your cumulative contributions to the Journal - Econometric Theory - have qualified you for the Econometric Theory Plura Scripsit Award.

This is one of a series of new awards that the Journal has established to acknowledge the contributions of authors who have moved the subject forward by virtue of their sustained publishing efforts over a period of years. Contributions such as your own have helped econometrics grow into the huge subject area in economics that it is today, and have been instrumental in helping individual econometric fields grow to maturity, especially during the last decade.

Cambridge University Press joins me in warmly congratulating you on this success as an Econometric Theory author. We look forward to publishing more of your work and we wish you personal fulfillment and academic success in your future research and writing.
