Christopher Sims’s maternal grandfather, William M. Leiserson, died when Sims was fifteen years old, but Sims saw him fairly often and was prompted by him to take an interest in economics and public affairs in general. Leiserson’s book _Right and Wrong in Labor Relations_ was published in 1938, four years before Sims was born. This copy belonged to Sims’s grandmother, Emily B. Leiserson, and was donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by Sims in 2022.
