Generalized Vectorization, Cross-Products, and Matrix Calculus

Darrell A. Turkington is a Professor of Economics at the University of Western Australia. His numerous publications include articles in leading international journals such as the Journal of the American Statistical Association, the International Economic Review and the Journal of Econometrics. He is also the author of Instrumental Variables (Cambridge University Press, 1985, with Roger J. Bowden), Matrix Calculus and Zero-One Matrices: Statistical and Econometric Applications (Cambridge University Press, 2002) and Mathematical Tools for Economics (2007). Professor Turkington received his Ph.D. in theoretical economics from the University of California, Berkeley.
