Peter Schmidt (economist)

... that economist Peter Schmidt's 1977 work on stochastic frontier models is considered one of the most influential Journal of Econometrics papers of all time and his 2013 work on panel data models is among the most cited since 2012—these accomplishments separated by a 36 year span?

@Malinaccier: hook is way too long (can't be over 200 characters), but the article meets all other requirements, new enough, long enough, within policy. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 15:41, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

@Yellow Evan: How about "... that economist Peter Schmidt's 1977 work on stochastic frontier models is considered one of the most influential Journal of Econometrics papers of all time?"

Yea, that works, though not sure you need the year. No copyvio issues either, BTW. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

Hi, I came by to promote this, and was wondering how it is the "most influential"? What exactly does the offline source say? I wonder if it's also the "most cited". Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:26, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Hi, the source describes Schmidt's work as "path-breaking." The source doesn't make any claims about his work being most cited, though looking at a new source the paper is one of the most cited of all time. Are you looking to add more interesting detail to the hook? Malinaccier (talk) 22:41, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

@Malinaccier: I'm looking for accuracy. Yoninah (talk) 22:46, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

@Yoninah: The article I cited was by Takeshi Amemiya, a top Stanford econometrician. The article cited is published in an academic journal: [1]. In line text: "I will give brief summaries of ten path-breaking papers which I believe have made great impact on the econometrics profession.... Since the publication of Aigner, Lovell, and Schmidt (Journal of Econometrics, 6-1, 1977, 21-37), this important topic has become one of the favorite topics of the Journal of Econometrics."

@Malinaccier: Great, thanks! So which fact would you like to put in the hook, that it's "one of the most influential Journal of Econometrics papers of all time" or "one of the most cited Journal of Econometrics papers of all time"? Yoninah (talk) 22:56, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Let's go with "one of the most influential Journal of Econometrics papers of all time," thanks!! Malinaccier (talk) 02:03, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Restoring tick per Yellow Evan's review. Yoninah (talk) 09:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
