----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Here's a partial list of the work on Knight's methodology and philosophy published during the 1990s. The Handbook article John mentions did not provide more references because the item had to be short. Knight continues also to feature prominently in discussions of uncertainty and the theory of the firm; no references to that literature are provided, but a search on EconLit will produce a good list. I'm sure I've missed something that others can contribute. At the risk of some immodesty, I've included my own articles on the subject in the list, but suggest you look at my online cv, available from my web site, for a complete list of my Knight-related publications: http:www.augustana.ab.ca/~emmer Ross Emmett Richard Boyd at the University of Chicago has an unpublished mss. on "Frank H.
