Earlene Craver (Leijonhufvud) published one paper "The Emigration of
Austrian Economists" in HOPE in 1986 (18, 1). The oral history tapes
Axel and Earlene Leijonhufvud collected are in their possession and
will be, we are told, deposited in the Economists' Papers Archive in
Duke's Perkins Library in due course. A small number of economists
appear in the appendix of 300 notable emigres in the locus classicus
of this historical field: Fleming and Bailyn's *The Intellectual
Migration*, Belknap/Harvard Press, 1969.
