“…The monetary approach has links with David Hume's price–specie flow mechanism but was formally developed by Harry G. Johnson, Robert A. Mundell, and their students at the University of Chicago during the 1960s and 1970s. Johnson (1923–1977) was an extraordinarily prolific writer who published over 500 academic articles in his relatively short lifetime (see Corden et al ., ). In ‘Towards a General Theory of the Balance of Payments’ (1958), he not only coined expenditure‐switching and expenditure‐changing policies in his discussion of the absorption approach, but also provided one of the first expositions of the monetary approach to the balance of payments .…”

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.

“…For the purposes of this paper, the concern is the other way around. A PhD student's publication and citation count may be 10 See Corden et al (2001) for a discussion of the personal and academic contribution of Harry Johnson to international trade. 11 The academic family tree does not thin as rapidly as a human family tree, because there are many instances of co-supervision by professor and student.…”

Abstract: There is a growing literature measuring research excellence in economics. The h-index is noteworthy in combining quantity and research quality in a single measure of researcher excellence, and its ability to be extended to measure the quantity and quality of the researchers in a department. We extend the use of the first successive h-index further to measure the quality of graduate education, specifically excellence in research supervision, based on publication and citation data for individual researchers ascribed to their graduate supervisors.
