Thirty years ago when Tjalling C. Koopmans began to be well known as an economist, he seemed to be a foreigner in a field where, his approach to problems was often so different from the prevailing ones. Today a large group of young economists follows his path to scientific discovery. His first main concern was for theoretical econometrics. When he entered the field of economics during his graduate studies, the small group of founders of the Econometric Society enthusiastically took up inference from economic data. Koopmans studies the maximum likelihood estimates for the model containing such errors. He proposes confidence intervals and tries to evaluate how much the presence of errors on independent variables vitiates the coefficients of a multiple regression that neglects them. Activity analysis is the second major area initiated and developed by Koopmans. His first contribution to this field was a memorandum written in 1942 for the Combined Shipping Adjustment Board. The complete activity analysis set-up is not yet present; Koopmans derives what are essentially dual variables to the supposedly optimal use of a transport network; he discusses their role and limitations when the solution must be revised as a consequence of changes in transport requirements.
