Nobel-winning economist Christopher Sims, known for his work on vector autoregression, passed away at 83.

Sims, raised in an economist family, studied math at Harvard before earning his PhD in economics. He taught at Minnesota, Yale, and Princeton. Sims acknowledged model improvements, particularly in handling financial markets, but cautioned against over-reliance on forecasts due to unpredictable surprises. He was remembered as an open-minded mentor who emphasized the importance of coordinated monetary policy and government spending.
