Autobiography

Clive Granger

No 2003-6, Nobel Prize in Economics documents from Nobel Prize Committee

Abstract: I was born in Swansea in the Principality of Wales in September 1934 and named Clive William John Granger. The "William John" names were traditional Granger boy's names and my mother liked the name Clive because some popular musician at the time had it. My father, Edward John Granger, and with his wife Evelyn (both English) left Wales with me when I was about one year old to go to Lincoln in Eastern England. He was a commercial traveler for a well respected firm called Chivers that made jams, marmalades, jellies, and so forth. He traveled around whatever area he was directed to by the company and took orders for the products from wholesalers and individual grocers. My memory of Wales in this early period is non-existent but it did qualify me to play rugby for Wales, if I had been good enough. I did not get the Welsh ability to sing, unfortunately.
