Warren Pat Hogan, 1929–2009*

Abstract

With the passing of University of Sydney Emeritus Professor Warren Hogan, Australian economics has lost one of its most prominent and distinguished contributors of the last half century. His life and activities are striking for combining a highly distinguished academic career with extensive contributions to business, government and a wide range of service organizations.

Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Society of Australia, 2010: Peter Groenewegen

“…There is more to a scholarly life, however, than just the corpus of publications which is the most visible and tangible, and perhaps the most enduring, result of such a life of research. As I commented recently, in the obituary of another distinguished University of Sydney economist, such a life is more than merely a collection of ‘outcomes’ gathered together in a curriculum vitae (Aspromourgos, 2010, p. 292). There are other immensely important, more intangible dimensions to a distinguished intellectual life, dimensions which are hardly visible in the lines of a CV.…”
