At the HES Meeting just ended in Tacoma, the following awards for Distinguished Fellows of the History of Economics Society were presented: Peter Groenewegen Peter Groenewegen, Emeritus Professor at the University of Sydney, has published more than fifty journal articles since 1967, and more than sixty chapters in books from 1977. His books range from his edited translations of Turgot in 1977, to an Australian public finance textbook in three editions in 1979, to a 1990 history of Australian economics with Bruce McFarlane. And of course we have his splendid and definitive 1995 biography of Alfred Marshall, a work that honors both Marshall and the Marshallian Cambridge tradition. His colleagues and students understand and appreciate his importance to the history of economics community in Australia. He has been mentor, facilitator, and cheerleader for the history of economics for many years, and has embodied the best characteristics of serious scholarship in our discipline. Groenewegen's broad intellectual interests extend to his work in other subdisciplines, as he contributed four tax monographs from 1976 to 1985, and edited or co-edited a further ten books between 1983 and 2001. From 1982 to 2000 he also edited (some of these cases involving also translation) nine numbers in his Reprints of Economic Classics series of important and neglected writings from the history of economics, all with scholarly introductions and extensive editorial notes. Finally, there are a number of contributions by Groenewegen to reference works, of which the most significant are his twenty-six entries in The New Palgrave. In 2002 he published his own three volume collection of his essays in the history of economics. Peter Groenewegen has made extensive contributions to institutional organizations of various scholarly communities quite apart from his work in the history of economics. He served as editor of Economic Papers and as President of the History of Economic Thought Society of Australia from 1981 to 1989. Groenewegen was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia in 1983, and has been honoured internationally as a foreign or corresponding member of Dutch, Italian and French academic societies. It is with great pleasure that we name Peter Groenewegen a Distinguished Fellow of the History of Economics Society. ----------------- Takashi Negishi Takashi Negishi, Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo, has played a vital role in bridging the modern divide between economists and historians of economics. He has created a path for non-historians of economics, especially economic theorists, to enter a study of the history of economics, particularly on the topics of classical economics, Marxian economics, neoclassical economics and Keynesian economics. Takashi Negishi has enhanced the status of the history of economics in the international community of economists. For example, he managed to organize the very first session in the World Congress of the International Economic Association (IEA) in Moscow in 1993, when he was a member of its Executive Committee. Since then every IEA World Congress has had a couple of sessions on the history of economics and has thus provided an opportunity not only for internationally-active scholars but also for local scholars and students to communicate and exchange their ideas. In the early 1980s, Professor Negishi began to publish articles and books on the results of his serious study of the history of economic theory. The first of his books to reach a wide public audience was written in Japanese, but after 1985 he published more than forty outstanding articles, and several books including his 1985 Economic Theories in a Non-Walrasian Tradition, his 1989 History of Economic Theory, and his 2001 Developments of International Trade Theory. He became a member of the Japanese Society of the History of Economic Thought, which has both the longest history and the largest number of members in the world, and served as its President in 1997-99. He also served as the President of the Econometric Society in 1993 and delivered a Presidential address entitled "Great economists misinterpreted", in which he spoke to an audience of active econometricians about Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Alfred Marshall and emphasized the importance of an accurate knowledge of the history of economics in the study of economic theory. His study of the history of economics has encouraged his colleagues, students and friends, as well as a much larger community, to see that a wide and liberal historical study of economics can enrich the discipline of economics. We are delighted to name Takashi Negishi a Distinguished Fellow of the History of Economics Society. ----------------- A list of Distinguished Fellows of the HES is available at http://eh.net/HE/HisEcSoc/fellows.shtml E.
