For those working in American economics: Oxford University Press is looking for contributors to the new version of the American National Biography which is to be forthcoming in the next couple of years. You can request further info and a list of available subjects from: ANB <[log in to unmask]> The lists of subjects are divided into categories. I requested the "social Sciences" category, and found the following economists still available. For each of these individuals, the ANB is looking for a biography of less than 1000 words, and they offer a small cash payment for accepted biographies. [Their list changes rapidly, so my listing of subjects here is simply an indication of what they are doing, not a guarantee that the subject will be available for you to write about!]. Brown, J. Douglas Chamberlin, Edward Hastings Clark, John Maurice Eckstein, Otto Fairchild, Fred Rogers Foster, William Trufant Goldenweiser, Emanuel Alexander Hamilton, Earl Hansen, Alvin H. Harris, Abraham Lincoln Harris, Seymour E. Koopmans, Tjalling Kuh, Edwin Lerner, Abba Machlup, Fritz Nurkse, Ragnar Okun, Arthur Patten, Simon Nelson Perlman, Selig Stigler, George Joseph Tucker, George Willis, Henry Parker Young, Allyn Abbott Remember that these are the subjects still available. The ANB's list of subjects is closed -- they will not consider further nominations. Ross Ross B.
