  eckstein
Anna B. Eckstein was born in Coburg, Germany in 1868, the daughter of a German officer.

Eckstein saw as her greatest work the collection of signatures for "The World Petition to Prevent War Between Nations," to be signed by heads of the 44 signatory powers of the Hague Conventions.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: The War Economy
A paper delivered by Otto Eckstein, professor of Economics and former member of the Council of Economic Advisors, in late January at the Institutional Investor Conference in New York raises the fascinating, if nebulous, possibility that ending the war in Vietnam may make such social capital available.
Eckstein points out first that with the war in Vietnam raging, the non-Vietnam military budget today is, by normal standards, an austerity budget.
At the same time, Eckstein shows, economic growth is being maintained--stimulated in 1968 almost entirely by the private sector.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Eckstein Advises Area Group Of Projected Economic Surge
The nation's economy is in the midst of a period of sustained improvement, Otto Eckstein, Warburg Professor of Economics, told about 100 people attending a New England Economic Project (NEEP) conference on Friday.
Eckstein said later that the economy "got so sick last winter that the Administration had to do exactly what Professor Samuelson's textbook prescribed."

 MetroActive Dining | Harvest Fair
A novice judge might be inclined to fill in a chart for each entry based on the chart in the professional guidebook--appearance, 30 percent; texture, 35 percent; flavor, 35 percent--but these men make some of their assessments almost immediately.
Eckstein approaches the rectangular pastry carefully and inspects it with narrowed eyes.
"It's a bordeloue, a classic French tart," says Eckstein as he grasps the end of the pastry with a firm hand and cuts away three pieces.

 THE ECONOMIC CHEATS AND LIARS!
When Otto Eckstein was asked why DRI had never forecast a recession his answer was egomania at its worst: he claimed that if he forecast one he would cause one and it was, therefore, in the national interest that he not do so!
It turns out that the way it worked was that Otto and a couple of the senior guys would sit down once a quarter and they'd figure out what they thought the major features of the new forecast were going to be: government policy, import/export issues, interest rate direction, inflation, overall growth, etc.
And while Otto was certainly credible and good in front of a crowd, his big picture, grand sweep forecasts just weren't all that good.

 Foss, Murray F.: The U.S. National Income and Product Accounts
As these topics suggest, this volume represents a new stage in the study of national income and product accounts in that emphasis is placed on the information content of the system rather than on the structure of the accounts.
This new emphasis is highlighted by the inclusion of a discussion among prominent users of the national accounts--Lawrence Klein, Otto Eckstein, Alan Greenspan, and Arthur Okun--that indicates the difficulties that confront those who utilize this information.
