• W261109641 abstract "15 MAY 1915 * 13 DECEMBER 2009IN THE LATE SPRING OF 1942, when I was straightening a desk and changing arrangements in the main public room of the economics facilities at the University of California (Berkeley), I noticed an interesting group of new announcements of economic faculty attractions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including new faculty and programs for the coming fall semester.I had been going to government recruitment meetings for arousing interest among Berkeley students, especially men, to answer the growing demand for public service - mainly at the federal level and military, or other government needs for enrollment, after the end of the academic year in late spring.My situation was not usual because as a result of a childhood accident, I have one short leg (by two inches) and was being considered for desk jobs or related services that would not be likely to expose my unequal body-build to further impairment. The government recruiters kept stressing that I could be an expensive disability to the government.I was attracted by the new MIT program, which was completing the (academic) year; I asked my Berkeley professors for their advice about applying for a scholarship in the program, as an alternative to a secondary job in the U.S. government, given my physical liability. They did not know, personally, most of the MTT faculty members who were involved in the new program, but suggested that I should get in touch with the faculty involved in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and find out more about the program, which had a very significant economic component.It turned out that MTT wanted some graduate students who would be on fellowship support and could also teach at the beginning level in some programs that were approved by federal officials, who sent beginning students for technical training at MIT.The MIT scholarship program was new and attractive to both faculty and students. I applied for a scholarship at MIT and was accepted into the new program in economics. After the end of spring classes at Berkeley, I studied the potential program needs at MIT, their scholarship stipends, and their offering of postgraduate studies in economics. There was no obstacle to my joining the MTT program, given my draft status as 4-F (disabled).In my correspondence with faculty and staff in Cambridge, I found that my work as a research assistant to members of the Berkeley faculty, especially in mathematical statistics and in mathematical economics, had been of interest to Paul Samuelson. He knew, by reputation or personal contact, about their interest in and direct contribution to new trends in economics, taking the subject into more intensive use of mathematics and statistics. He was interested in the work of Berkeley professors Francis Dresch (mathematical economics and statistics) and Jerzy Neyman (mathematical statistics).MIT offered me a tuition scholarship, and my final summer work at the University of California in the mathematical-statistical study of the economics of demand (California lemons at that time) provided me with some initial funds. On arriving at MIT, I found that there was an opportunity for continuing work in mathematical statistics and economics, and that I could be assigned to a faculty member for supervision. Luckily for me, Professor Samuelson was intuitively in disagreement with a research paper on statistical demand analysis in Econometrica (the scholarly journal for applying mathematics and statistics in their field), which he found lacking in acceptable quantitative analysis. My assignment turned out to lead me into the mathematical background of economic analysis of demand and the statistical methods of applications of such analyses. Paul Samuelson was perceptive, as usual, about the shortcomings of the research paper. I was immediately assigned by him to examine critically a recently published study, to see if I could discover flaws in it. …" @default.
