The Palgrave Companion to Oxford Economics

The University of Oxford has been and continues to be one of the most important global centres for economics. With six chapters on themes in Oxford economics and 24 chapters on the lives and work of Oxford economists, this volume shows how economics became established at the University, how it produced some of the world's best-known economists, including Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, Roy Harrod and David Hendry, and how it remains a global force for the very best in teaching and research in economics. With original contributions from a stellar cast, this volume provides economists especially those interested in macroeconomics and the history of economic thought with the first in-depth analysis of Oxford economics.

First large scale and unifying volume devoted to Oxford Economics. Brings existing studies on Oxford up to date with the 21st Century. Introduces the views and experiences of a range of scholars and contributors
