Who’s Who in Economics, Third Edition

3rd edition

Edited by the late Mark Blaug, former Professor Emeritus, University of London and Professor Emeritus, University of Buckingham, UK

This major reference work has been thoroughly revised, updated and extended for the third edition. It is the only biographical dictionary of major economists to appear in any language. As an extensive and authoritative guide to economists both past and present who have made a substantial contribution to the subject, it provides biographical, bibliographical and critical information on over one thousand living economists and some five hundred deceased economists.

‘. . . as one reviewer said of the second edition, what was an interesting experiment became a standard work of reference. With this third edition it is now a vital resource for the profession. . .’
– Roger Middleton, Journal of the History of Economic Thought

“谁是谁in Economics is indispensable for any library and department of economics, as well as for individual scholars playing an active role in the academic community. No other source presents so many facts on the leading economists as conveniently and reliably. . . . Blaug’s volume is not only an outstanding source of information on individual economists, but it also provides a rich database for research on the economics profession. Thus, several academic articles systematically analysed the second edition, and Blaug explicitly invites research based on the third edition.’
– Bruno S. Frey and Reiner Eichenberger, Kyklos

‘. . . valuable reference book. . . . Such an inviting book. . . . Thumbing through the entries in Who’s Who in Economics does give a unique insight into the concerns and findings of the world’s leading economists. . .’
