 Making a Great Difference: The Influence of Professor Werner Baer on the Economic Literature in Brazil, and on BrazilChapter 19 in Economic Development in Latin America, 2010, pp 295-305 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract The contribution of Professor Werner Baer to Economics in Brazil is enormous. His contribution was, and of course still is, multidimensional, and it is very difficult to tell which aspect is the most important. His influence in the shaping up of graduate studies in the country is recognized by all the Brazilian pioneers. He was instrumental in developing institutions, organizing courses, identifying young professors to be trained abroad, arranging scholarships for them in the U.S., and helping them to be accepted in American universities, introducing academic standards in the selection of graduate students in the country, forming an association of graduate programs, etc. His permanent residence in Brazil in the fledgling years of the organization of the Brazilian graduate programs in Economics was very important. Not only did he teach courses but he also advised students, invited visiting professors, and managed to lead the newborn system to safe grounds.
