Two views on development: Austin and Joan Robinson
比较了奥斯汀和琼·罗宾逊对发展经济学的贡献，两人都关注欠发达地区的人类问题，但奥斯汀更注重具体政策和实证，琼更侧重理论模型。
The article is based on the 1996 Kingsley Martin Memorial Lecture at Cambridge. The contributions of Austin and Joan Robinson to development economics are described, compared and assessed. Both are shown to have been deeply concerned about the human problems associated with a lack of development, especially in India, Africa and, in Joan's case, China. Austin wrote far more on the problems, his work was much more concrete and applied, though he always had clear models in his head. Joan was more concerned with concepts and specific theoretical models. Austin always wanted to find orders of magnitude and make projections, as well as prescribe specific policies. Both were keen observers of particular scenes. Their often astute comments were filtered through constraints associated with the authors' time, upbringing and experience.
