Many people contributed to the creation of ELSA. Paul Ruud and Daniel McFadden believed that an econometrics software archive would be a valuable contribution to economics and convinced the National Science Foundation to provide start-up funds. Grace Katagiri recruited volunteers for the project, organized workgroups, and coordinated the design and implementation effort.

Volunteers included David Revelt, Harish Chand, Jeff Ely, Chris Downing, Sean Ennis, and Sam Quigley.

Ofer Licht provided key systems administration support, and together with Rick Kawin, was responsible for configuring the ELSA server.

We would also like to thank the people who reviewed our efforts in progress and provided valuable, detailed, and candid comments. They helped us improve the aesthetic appearance of this site, reminded us of matters of substance that we had overlooked, and pointed out errors (some of commission, others of omission). Our reviewers include James Blakly, Bill Goffe, Markus Hatterscheid, Ofer Licht, Jeff MacKie-Mason, Bob Parks, and Hal Varian.
