Abstract: Abstract Matsuyama describes how Michio Morishima, a distinguished Japan-educated mathematical economist, had wide-ranging research interests, including dynamic general equilibrium theory, history of economic thought and ‘symphonic economics’. In order to cover his various works, the focus here is on the transition of Morishima’s economic methodology, which had been triggered by criticism from Ragner Frisch. After that, Morishima’s economic research gradually moved towards a more historical and institutional analysis of economic reality. Consequently, his realistic methodology evolves into his original approach, ‘symphonic economics’, based on historical and sociological perspectives. Matsuyama also describes Morishima’s efforts to establish The Suntory and Toyota International Centre for Economics and Related Disciplines (STICERD) at LSE.
