Produktbeschreibung

John Trout Rader III died on May 23, 1991 after a long bout with multiple sclerosis. At the time of his death he was Professor of Economics at Washington University in Saint Louis. He was born on August 23, 1938 and received his B. A. from the University of Texas in 1959 and his Ph. D. from Yale University in 1963. In 1965, after brief stints as assistant professor at the Universities of Missouri and illinois, he joined Washington University where he was promoted to Professor in In Saint Louis, he divided his energies between his two lifelong loves: his family 1970. (his wife Deanna and children Kathy, Wendy, David, and Sarah) and ECONOMICS. Already in the seventies, his long and painful illness started to interfere with his work. During his brief but productive career he succeeded in assembling an impressive record as a scholar: He wrote three books and more than thirty articles covering a remarkably broad range of topics. His two books on microeconomics and general equilibrium {1972a, 1972b)1 are research monographs rather than textbooks; they contain many ideas which anticipated lines of research his fellow economists took up only later. The topics in his articles range from consumer analysis (1963, 1973a, 1976c, 1976d, 1978a, 1979b), production theory (1968c, 1970a, 1974), equilibrium and welfare theory (1964, 1968a, 1970a, 1972c, 1972d, 1976b, 1976c, 1980), growth theory and dynamics (1965, 1975, 1985), international trade (1968b, 1971b, 1973b, 1978c, 1979a), and public choice (1973d, 1978b).
