Richard Stone: an Annotated Bibliography Mauro Baranzini GianDemetrio Marangoni Richard Stone: an Annotated Bibliography Mauro Baranzini GianDemetrio Marangoni University of Lugano and University of Verona and Accademia dei Lincei - Rome University of Lugano Richard Stone: an Annotated Bibliography USI First edition: 2015 ISBN 978-88-6101-014-7 Copyright © 2014 Università della Svizzera italiana CH-6900 Lugano The ‘Stone Collection’ at the Central Library of the University of Lugano comprises Richard Stone’s complete works in the field of economics. The collection consists of approximately 200 articles and books, published between 1936 and 1991, the year of his death, as well as some posthumous works, manuscripts and secondary literature. Much of the material comes from a donation by Richard Stone’s wife, Giovanna. The remaining part has been assembled and made available by the authors of this bibliography and by the Library of the University of Lugano (BUL). This Annotated Bibliography is also part of the Collection. It presents brief comments on each item in the collection, biographical notes and some more general considerations. The authors would like to thank Domenico Rossignoli for bibliographical research and Nigel and Caroline Webb for text revision. Particular thanks are due to the Director of the University Library, Giuseppe Origgi, for his valuable collaboration with this project. 1 The task of presenting the contributions of Richard Stone to economics, and in particular to the theory of income distribution, is facilitated, to some extent, by the existence of a number of complete lists of his publications, issued in books and international journals [see, for instance, Bibliography of Richard Stone’s Works, 1936-1984, The Scandinavian Journal of Economics , Vol. 87, No. 1, 1985, pp. 33-43; The ET Interview: Professor Sir Richard Stone (interviewer M. H. Pesaran). Econometric Theory, Vol. 7, No. 1, 1991, pp. 85-123; Richard Stone, Some British Empiricists in the Social Sciences 1650-1900. Cambridge University Press, 1997, pp. 441-463]. In this annotated bibliography, we refer to the bibliography provided by Richard Stone on the occasion of the interview with M. H. Pesaran published in Econometric Theory in 1991. The bibliography is organised according to the date at which items were written rather than the date of publication. 1913 John Richard Nicholas Stone was born in London, on 30 August 1913, the only son of Gilbert and Elsie Stone. 1932 After attending Westminster School, he entered Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge in 1932, achieving 1 st class honours in the Law Tripos, part 1, in 1933. Not being interested in this subject, which he had only chosen to please his father, he changed to Economics. In his autobiography for The Nobel Prizes 1984 [192] Stone explains his switch from law to economics in these terms: ‘At that time the world was in the depth of the great depression and my motive for wanting to change subject was the belief, bred of youthful ignorance and optimism, that if only economics were better understood, the world would be a better place’. The College had no teaching Fellow in the subject but he was supervised by Richard Kahn and Gerald Shove of King’s College and J. W. F. Rowe of Pembroke College. He achieved a First in Economics Part II in 1935, probably influencing the College, as Pasinetti suggests, in its decision to appoint its first teaching Fellow 2 in Economics, John Hicks, who joined the College in October 1935. But by then Stone had gone down [Pasinetti, 1992, p. 113] . 1936 001. A study of costs (with W.A. Tweddle). Econometrica 4 (1936): 226-241. [ Access the article via JSTOR: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/1905421 ] [ Also available at BUL as offprint, see: http://lumen.sbu.usi.ch/bul:bul_aleph000747241 ] In 1936 Stone publishes his first article, in collaboration with W. A. Tweddle [001]. This is a study of eight British industries, determining the mathematical functional relationships between volume of employment and volume of production. From the very beginning Stone is attracted to applied economics. He believed that economics was not sufficiently quantitative and that there was a gap between theory and facts. According to him, theory must be used to interpret facts and facts must be the source of economic reasoning. In 1936 Richard Stone marries Winifred Jenkins, who had also read economics at Cambridge. 1937 002. Trends (with W.M. Stone). Monthly articles in Industry Illustrated , June- December 1937. [ Available at BUL as photocopy, see: http://lumen.sbu.usi.ch/bul:bul_aleph000747241 ] From June 1937 to May 1939, Stone and Winifred Jenkins wrote the column entitled ‘Trends ’ [002, 004, 007] in the monthly publication Industry Illustrated . The column, which had been the responsibility of Colin Clark prior to his departure to Australia, provided information, statistics and comment on the British and worldwide economy. In Stone’s words: ‘It could be considered as a very modest forerunner of the British official monthly Economic Trends which began to appear after the war’ [Stone & Pesaran, 1991, p. 90]. 3 Nevertheless, this was an important experience for Stone. The information collected was used in his early articles as well as in Trends and his call to the Ministry of Economic Warfare, at the outbreak of the Second World War, probably owes much to his consequent growing reputation.

The first one [003] provides a series of estimates of the marginal propensity to consume and its effect on the Keynesian multipliers. The marginal propensity to consume is estimated for several countries by three different methods: the budget method, Kahn’s method of leakages and the historical method. 4 The starting point is Keynes’ ‘fundamental psychological law’ [J. M. Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money , Macmillan, 1936] that ‘men are disposed, as a rule and on the average, to increase their consumption as their income increases, but not by as much as the increase in their income’. Stone wonders if Keynes’ hypothesis is not too simplistic and if there are other determinants of consumption in addition to income and its variations. In particular, Stone investigates Staehle’s hypothesis [H. Staehle, Short-Period Variations in the Distribution of Incomes, Review of Economic Statistics , 1937] that the distribution of income also plays an important role in determining consumption. Stone concludes, however, that ‘This is a very interesting analysis, but it seems that its conclusions do not hold universally, and before the end of this paper we propose to exhibit calculations based on an entirely different method which suggest that changes in the distribution of incomes are not important in general for the community as a whole or are highly correlated with changes in aggregate money income’ [003, p. 8]. 004.

  • RICHARD STONE 13 Millington Road, Cambridge, U.K
    THE ACCOUNTS OF SOCIETY Nobel Memorial Lecture, 8 December, 1984 RICHARD STONE 13 Millington Road, Cambridge, U.K. CONTENTS 1. The role of accounting systems 2. Precursors 3. Concepts and definitions 4. The national economic accounts 5. Statistical problems 6. Regional accounts 7. Demographic accounts 8. Concluding remarks 9. A list of works cited THE ACCOUNTS OF SOCIETY 1. The Role of Accounting Systems This morning I shall discuss how accounting can be useful in describing and understanding society. The three pillars on which an analysis of society ought to rest are studies of economic, socio-demographic and environmental phenom- ena. Naturally enough, accounting ideas are most developed in the economic context, and it is to this that I shall devote much of my time, but they are equally applicable in the other two fields. By organising our data in the form of accounts we can obtain a coherent picture of the stocks and flows, incomings and outgoings of whatever variables we are interested in, whether these be goods and services, human beings or natural resources, and thence proceed to analyse the system of which they form part. The function of the national accounts in this process can perhaps be better understood if I illustrate it with a diagram. In the first box of diagram 1 we have our facts, organised as far as possible into a coherent set of accounts. Given this quantitative framework, we can formulate some hypotheses, or theories, about the technical and behavioural relationships that connect them. By combining facts and theories we can construct a model which when translated into quantitative terms will give us an idea of how the system under investigation actually works.

  • Constitutional Convention for Giving Firm Shape to That Will
    We Commend ..... This report is about practical intent. It says: "Here is what we are going to do," not "here is what we would like". Those who seek inspirational home rule rhetoric are respectfully directed elsewhere, including to the Convention's own previous publications. We have moved on. We regard the argument in principle as compelling. The longing of the people of Scotland for their own Parliament rings clear and true every time opinion is sounded. We believe that the momentum for change is now too great to deny; and that a Scottish Parliament will soon be meeting for the first time in nearly three centuries. What has been missing has been a practical scheme for bringing the Parliament into existence, and a hard-headed assessment of what it will be able to achieve. That is the gap which this report fills. This report shows that the Parliament can work, and it shows how. In doing so, it answers opponents who have tried to portray a Scottish Parliament as a pipe- dream, a fantasy which the Scots, unlike other peoples around the world, somehow cannot turn into reality. The Convention has a diverse membership, as diverse as we could make it. Diversity and unanimity are not natural companions. It is the instinct of political parties to disagree with one another, and the instinct of civic groups like the churches, the trade unions and others to be impatient with the preoccupations of politicians. This has meant that a lot of time and effort has been required to arrive at the proposals in this document.

  • May 2005 the Canadian Quandary Introduction by William Watson
    Draft: May 2005 The Canadian Quandary Introduction by William Watson1 What a treat is in store for readers of these essays. Harry Gordon Johnson was one of the best economists of the 1950s and 1960s, not just in Canada but worldwide. Had he not died young, in 1977, only 17 days short of his 54th birthday, he might have won the Nobel Prize. And yet he was also a controversialist of the first rank. When he chose to be “unbuttoned,” as he put it, he wrote with a caustic and dismissive elegance. In some passages of The Canadian Quandary it is as if H. L. Mencken has left Baltimore and come to Canada to take up economics. In this collection of Johnson’s Canadian writings from the Diefenbaker years, 1957 to 1963, the most frequent victims of his derision are Canadian economic nationalists, led in that era by Walter Gordon, Lester Pearson’s first finance minister and author of the Gordon Royal Commission Report of 1957. For most non-economist readers it is as a contribution to the postwar debate on Canadian nationalism that this volume will mainly be of interest. Although the nationalists’ views eventually came to dominate Canada’s universities, economics departments sometimes excepted, and influence the Trudeau government, when they were first bruited, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, they were frequently opposed. Johnson was one of their strongest critics. The heyday of left-wing nationalism is now past, of course. Trudeau’s National Energy Policy and Foreign Investment Review Agency have long since been dismantled or neutered.

  • The Transformation of Macroeconomic Policy and Research
    K4_40319_Prescott_358-395 05-08-18 11.41 Sida 370 THE TRANSFORMATION OF MACROECONOMIC POLICY AND RESEARCH Prize Lecture, December 8, 2004 by Edward C. Prescott* Arizona State University, Tempe, and Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. 1. INTRODUCTION What I am going to describe for you is a revolution in macroeconomics, a transformation in methodology that has reshaped how we conduct our science. Prior to the transformation, macroeconomics was largely separate from the rest of economics. Indeed, some considered the study of macroeconomics fundamentally different and thought there was no hope of integrating macroeconomics with the rest of economics, that is, with neoclassical economics. Others held the view that neoclassical foundations for the empirically deter- mined macro relations would in time be developed. Neither view proved correct. Finn Kydland and I have been lucky to be a part of this revolution, and my address will focus heavily on our role in advancing this transformation. Now, all stories about transformation have three essential parts: the time prior to the key change, the transformative era, and the new period that has been impacted by the change. And that is the story I am going to tell: how macro- economic policy and research changed as the result of the transformation of macroeconomics from constructing a system of equations of the national accounts to an investigation of dynamic stochastic economies. Macroeconomics has progressed beyond the stage of searching for a theory to the stage of deriving the implications of theory. In this way, macroeconomics has become like the natural sciences. Unlike the natural sciences, though, macroeconomics involves people making decisions based upon what they think will happen, and what will happen depends upon what decisions they make.

  • Two out of Three Ain't Bad | the Economist
    Two out of three ain’t bad | The Economist 26.8.16 10:51 The Mundell-Fleming trilemma Two out of three ain’t bad A fixed exchange rate, monetary autonomy and the free flow of capital are incompatible, according to the last in our series of big economic ideas Aug 27th 2016 | From the print edition HILLEL THE ELDER, a first-century religious leader, was asked to summarise the Torah while standing on one leg. “That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary,” he replied. Michael Klein, of Tufts University, has written that the insights of international macroeconomics (the study of trade, the balance-of-payments, exchange rates and so on) might be similarly distilled: “Governments face the policy trilemma; the rest is commentary.” The policy trilemma, also known as the impossible or inconsistent trinity, says a country must choose between free capital mobility, exchange-rate management and monetary autonomy (the three corners of the triangle in the diagram). Only two of the three are possible. A country that wants to fix the value of its currency and have an interest-rate policy that is free from outside influence (side C of the triangle) cannot allow capital to flow freely across its borders. If the exchange rate is fixed but the country is open to cross-border capital flows, it cannot have an independent monetary policy (side A). And if a country chooses free capital mobility and wants monetary autonomy, it has to allow its currency to float (side B).

JOHNSON INTERNATIONAL FINANCE SECTION DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Princeton, New Jersey This is the one hundred and twenty-fourth number in the series ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE, published from time to time by the International Finance Section of the Department of Economics of Princeton University. This Essay is based upon the David Horowitz Lectures that Harry G. Johnson gave in Israel in 1975. Some weeks before his death on May 8, 1977, Professor Johnson wrote to ask whether the Section would like to publish a revised version of the Lectures. We do so now with a Foreword that was the obituary notice published by the Times of Lon- don; it was written by Professor W. M. Corden of the Australian National University. We are grateful to the Association of Banks in Israel for permission to publish the Horowitz Lectures, to Professor Corden, to the Times of London for permission to publish the obituary notice, to Elizabeth Johnson for reviewing the edited manuscript, and to Professor Jacob A. Frenkel for reading the proofs. The Section sponsors the essays in this series but takes no further responsibility for the opinions expressed in them. The writers are free to develop their topics as they wish. PETER B.
