Johnston is particularly known for authoring Econometric Methods (First edition 1964), one of the earliest and most popular textbooks in econometrics,[1] the most recent editions being co-authored with John DiNardo.

Johnston died in 2003 at UC Irvine Medical Center from complications of Parkinson's disease.[2]
