John "Jack" Johnston (13 March 1923 – 14 October 2003) was a British econometrician. He spent most of his career at the University of Manchester, where he was the UK's first chair of econometrics (and he was later, 1967, given a named professorship - the "Stanley Jevons Professor") and later University of California, Irvine. [1] Johnston is particularly known for authoring Econometric Methods (First edition 1964), one of the earliest and most popular textbooks in econometrics,[2] the most recent editions being co-authored with John DiNardo.
Johnston died in 2003 at UC Irvine Medical Center from complications of Parkinson's disease.[3]
