Harry Johnson's Contribution to the Pure Theory of International Trade

Richard Lipsey ()

Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: This paper surveys some of the major writings of Harry Johnson on trade theory and attempts at least a partial assessment of his contribution to the field. The coverage is not exhaustive but is instead illustrative of Johnson's view on (i) the emptiness of qualitative economics, (ii) the resulting essential part that must be played by empirical work and (iii) the need for a revised theory of decision making on matters of economic policy.
