----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- E.B.Wilson (1879-1964), Harvard mathematician (at the School of Public Health!), on the editorial board of Econometrica, published statistical work suggesting that there were no regular cycles evident in economic time series, reviewed Haavelmo's major Cowles Commission monograph etc. Is this the Wilson you mean? Or Edgar Bright Wilson, physicist, born in 1908 and died in 1992. He co-authored a famous book on quantum theory with Linus Pauling and wrote another on how to do science, but I'm not aware of any work in economics.
