How many Hicks do we know? Looking at the signatures of his papers, and hence at his bibliography, one suspects that there have been at least two – J.R. Hicks, from the beginning of his career in the 1930s to the end of the 1960s; and John Hicks, from the 1970s onwards. Was this change of name a whimsical caprice of a successful economist or was it a meditated choice? The authors show that Hicks changed his name because he changed his stance on economic theory.

Abstract: | How many Hicks do we know? Looking at the signatures of his papers, and hence at his bibliography, one suspects that there have been at least two – J.R. Hicks, from the beginning of his career in the 1930s to the end of the 1960s; and John Hicks, from the 1970s onwards. Was this change of name a whimsical caprice of a successful economist or was it a meditated choice? The authors show that Hicks changed his name because he changed his stance on economic theory. |
