Tony Atkinson and his Legacy
致敬托尼·阿特金森,一位在经济学各领域均有贡献的学者,尤其在不平等测量与分析方面成就卓著,并强调其作为公共知识分子的深远影响。
Abstract Tony Atkinson is universally celebrated for his outstanding contributions to the measurement and analysis of inequality, but he never saw the study of inequality as a separate branch of economics. He was an economist in the classical sense, rejecting any sub‐field labelling of his interests and expertise, and he made contributions right across economics. His death on 1 January 2017 deprived the world of both an intellectual giant and a deeply committed public servant in the broadest sense of the term. This collective tribute highlights the range, depth and importance of Tony's enormous legacy, the product of almost fifty years’ work.
