Here's a partial list of the work on Knight's methodology and
philosophy published during the 1990s. The Handbook article John
mentions did not provide more references because the item had to be
short. Knight continues also to feature prominently in discussions of
uncertainty and the theory of the firm; no references to that literature are
provided, but a search on EconLit will produce a good list. I'm sure
I've missed something that others can contribute. At the risk of some
immodesty, I've included my own articles on the subject in the list, but
suggest you look at my online cv, available from my web site, for a
complete list of my Knight-related publications:
