Samuelson's fictional list of Nobel winners 1901-30 is included in a footnote to his 1981 obituary for Ohlin in _The Journal of International Economics_. At least that's what he says in his "The Passing of the Guard in Economics" _EEJ_ vol XIV, No. 4, Oct-Dec 1988, p. 319. The latter includes some interesting anectodal tidbits. ___________________________________ Mathew Forstater Department of Economics Gettysburg College Gettysburg, PA 17325 tel: (717) 337-6668 fax: (717) 337-6251 e-mail: [log in to unmask]
