I haven't yet seen John Hick's claim about the inspiration of Harrod's "dynamics" in
Hayek's work discussed in the literature.  Any comments?
  
John Hicks:  
  
"It is not so well known that it [Keynes's and my own move from thinking in terms of
price-levels and the rate of interest to thinking in terms of inputs
and outputs] is matched by a movement from Hayek to Harrod. I once asked Harrod what had
put him on to the construction of his so-call 'dynamic' theory; he said, to my surprise,
that it was thinking about Hayek."
