Building an economics department

.

Chapter 4 in The Value of Applied Economics, 2017, pp 64-84 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter focuses on Brown’s activities at Leeds University, especially regarding the Economics Department that he served and was head of for an extended period from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s. This is set in the more general context of the evolutionary changes that were taking place in English higher education at that time. It also outlines his views on the nature of an economics department and on the senior management of one.
