An Interview with Dale Poirier

IJ and JT: Dale, thank you very much for agreeing to take part in this interview for Advances in Econometrics, Volume 40. It is an honor for us to have this opportunity, particularly since we both had the privilege of having you as a senior colleague and mentor while we were still Assistant Professors. We will be forever grateful for your positive impact on our professional careers.

In the course of this interview, we hope to learn more about your background, how you became interested in econometrics and Bayesian econometrics in particular, and your thoughts on current practice in the profession and, perhaps, its future.
