The dependent economy model is also known as the ‘Australian model’ and the ‘Salter–Swan–Corden–Dornbusch model’ but neither title adequately conveys the scope and sequence of contributions that were instrumental to its development. In this paper attention is given to indispensable contributions made by the Australian public servant Roland Wilson and the British economist James Meade. The model's development is placed in the broader context of the evolution of balance of payments theory, and the paper highlights a vital Australian contribution to international trade theory, namely, the identification of the real exchange rate as the critical relative price in balance of payments adjustment.

Here we highlight a neglected contribution of Alexander Sutherland (1852Sutherland ( -1902 to Australian health economics. Sutherland read a paper on health insurance at the Melbourne Social Science Congress that was organised in the context of the International Exhibition of 1880-1881. He proposed combining life and health insurance into a single product and to require those who are insured to obtain regular medical check-ups. The aim was to provide the insurer with information on the behaviours of the insured and to promote healthy lifestyles. These proposals were not well received at the time and have been largely forgotten, but may be relevant today.

“…Harcourt also sponsored the English translation of Kalecki's review of the General Theory (King, , p. 144). It also meant that the AEP under the Harcourt‐Hancock editorship, which lasted nearly twenty years, adopted a pluralist ‘cosmopolitan’ approach to the journal's content (Groenewegen & MacFarlane, p. 178). As the journal received an excellent flow of manuscripts, Harcourt informed Edgeloe that the journal's rejection rate was ‘approaching rejection levels which are respectable by international levels’ .…”

Adelaide has made a significant contribution to Australian economics. Since 1966, the University of Adelaide and Flinders University have been the partners behind the journal Australian Economic Papers (AEP). It has been an adventurous undertaking sometimes disconcerted by financial vulnerability, which at times, threatened its very existence. After outlining the journal's history, this paper undertakes a forensic examination of the AEP, and provides a comparison with its most obvious competitor, The Economic Record (ER). Despite its bold ambitions, we find that the AEP is now Australia's second‐ranking generalist economics journal and suffering the fate of being of that genre.
