----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- If it is Howard R. Bowen then a likely candidate is the Bowen discussed by Solberg, W.U. and Tomlinson, R.W. 1997. "Academic McCarthyism and Keynesian Economics: The Bowen Controversy at the University of Illinois," History of Political Economy, 29.1, Spring, 55-81. I am currently writing about a research project on "Expectations and Business Fluctuations" which was based at the University of Illinois and which Bowen recruited Modigliani to lead. If my argument is correct then two divergent branches of economics - rational expectations and bounded rationality - emanated not from the Graduate School of Industrial Administration (GSIA) of the Carnegie Institute of Technology in the late 1950s and 1960s but from this University of Illinois research project in the early 1950s. Any information and suggestions will be gratefully received. ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
