Berthold Frank Hoselitz (1913–1995) taught Economics and Social Science at the University of Chicago between 1945 and 1978. His analysis of the role of cultural and sociological factors was influential in the newly emerging field of economic development and stands in stark contrast with usual depictions of Chicago School economists focusing on narrow models of self-interested maximizing behavior. He was the founding editor of one of most prominent journals in the field of economic development, ''Economic Development and Cultural Change''. At Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1947–48, he taught a course in international economics that was the only course in Economics future Nobel Laureate John Nash took before Nash went on to write his path breaking thesis on game theory and bargaining. == Biography == Hoselitz was born in 1913 in Vienna. He studied at the University of Vienna between 1932 and 1937 and obtained a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree in 1936. During that time, he attended two seminars by Ludwig von Mises before Mises departed Vienna in 1934.〔Yvan Kelly (2009) “Mises, Morgenstern, Hoselitz, and Nash: the Austrian Connection to Early Game Theory” ''The Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics'' 12, no.3: 37–42.〕〔David Mitch (2011) “(Mitch on Hoselitz ),” (Organizations and Markets Blog ), 3 May 2011.〕 Hoselitz was a member of the Austrian Social Democratic Labor Party between 1928 and 1938. He left Vienna at about the same time as his father, Bela and his brother, Kurt, in 1938, when Nazi Germany annexed Austria. After an attempt to go to China, he went to England. In 1942, Hoselitz’s mother died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Through a U.S. Quaker organization, he was able to find a position at Manchester College in Indiana and taught economics there between 1940–41. He then attended the University of Chicago, obtaining his Master’s degree in 1945. In 1943, he served as a research assistant for Jacob Viner at Yale. In 1945, he took a position as instructor in social sciences and then in 1946 as Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago.〔For biographical information see Mitch (2010) and Herdzina (1999).〕 In 1947–48, he held an appointment as Associate Professor of Economics at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. While there he taught a course in International Economics in which John Nash was a student. Nash indicates that it was the only course in economics he took before he began graduate study in mathematics at Princeton where he wrote his pathbreaking dissertation at Princeton on game theory and bargaining. Nash credits Hoselitz with influencing his thinking on bargaining with the example of countries negotiating and bargaining on tariffs.〔(Autobiography of John F. Nash, Jr. ) at nobelprize.org〕〔Kelly (2009) and Nasar (1994), pp. 90–91〕 Hoselitz went back to the University of Chicago in 1948. In 1951 he helped found the university's Research Center in Economic Development and Cultural Change and founded the center's journal ''Economic Development and Cultural Change''. In 1953 he was promoted to Professor of Economics and the Social Sciences. Hoselitz served on and chaired a variety of interdisciplinary university committees. From 1952 to 1962 he took a variety of roles in international missions and conferences on development, and advised El Salvador, India, the U.S. Senate, and UNESCO.〔(Obituary: Bert Hoselitz, Economics ). ''The University of Chicago Chronicle'', 14:13; March 9, 1995〕 Hoselitz retired in 1978, becoming professor emeritus. He continued to edit ''Economic Development and Cultural Change'' until 1985 and died in 1995.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bert F. Hoselitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
