He was born on December 28, 1859 in St. Louis, Missouri, the son of William Taussig and Adele Wuerpel. His parents encouraged his literary and musical interests, and he played the violin at an early age.
He was educated in the St. Louis public schools and at Smith Academy in that same city. He then went to Washington University there but, after a year transferred to Harvard from where he graduated in 1879.
Frank William Taussig was professor of economics at Harvard from 1892 until his retirement in 1935. He acted as an adviser on commercial policy to President Woodrow Wilson and was chairman of the U. S. Tariff Commission (1917–19).
Taussig was the author of a successful text, Principles of Economics (1911), and contributed to the theory of wages. His great claim to fame is his outstanding work in the theory of trade policy in which he guided such economists as Jacob Viner, John H. William, and J. W. Angell. He launched and guided a program of “verification, ” or testing, of international trade theory which he himself had done much to synthesize. This achievement is all the more remarkable because it occurred after the first World War, when Taussig was in his 60s. He also contributed a good deal to the understanding of tariffs, and Viner’s later work on customs unions shows evidence of Taussig’s influence.
He died on November 11, 1940, aged 80, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Taussig is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
