In Memory of James Tobin
Shocked by the death of a mentor and friend I dedicated to his memory a paper
presented at ESHET 2002 a few days after his death. It is available here.
I remember his visit to Portugal in 1981, to obtain a doctorate honoris causa
from Nova, to become an honorary member of the Lisbon Academy
of Sciences (who honored his memory at the session of 14 March) and to see
his Portuguese friends (in
the picture with my son Joao then 3 1/2 years old in Nazare)
Several tributes to him, including the beautiful piece by Paul Krugman Missing
James Tobin are available here.
During the 2002 NBER Summer Institute I wrote a remembrance for the European
Journal of History of Economic Thought, available here.
