Irving Fisher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fisher was one of the first to employ correlation analysis in economics, and in the 1920s he introduced the technique later called distributed lags. Fisher was the first to see that goods and services have a time dimension, so that a good now has a different subjective value than the same good at another date.
