Views

I started my professional career with an intellectual interest in the determination of wages and prices, in labour economics and industrial organisation. The War Labor Board (1943-1947) in World World War II and the Korean war period dispute settlement and stabilisation agencies (1950-1953) provided extensive experience in wage-setting, labour-management dispute resolution and responsibility for decision-making. These perspectives were reinforced by further university and public responsibilities as well as continuing as a labour-management arbitrator in many industries.

These experiences were to influence the choice of research and writing, notions of relevance in economics as well as views on the relations between economic analysis and public policy. Living at the margin of a large number of organisations — labour unions, business organisations, government agencies, university administrations at national and local levels — provided an opportunity to introduce many generations of Doctor of Philosophy students and junior faculty to data and materials not otherwise available. A number of the volumes of such research appear in the Wertheim.
