Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I study a statistical methodology of Arthur Lyon Bowley(1869-1957), an inheritance of Alfred Marshall(1842-1924) and development of his economics. It was said that Marshall had formulated economic theories early in his career, he might have employed a deductive methodology. However, throughout his academic career, from his days as a young scholar to late in his life, Marshall was interested in research factories and in industry, and he collected and analysed data, statistics, and facts on these topics. Under his influence, Bowley considered the application of statistics to the social sciences for the improvement of society. Bowley had a first seat of Statistical Professorship (1919) at London School of Economics. Under Marshall's influence, Bowley considered the application of statistics to the social sciences for the improvement of society. In this way, he contributed to the development of applied economics, suggesting that he was more a follower of Marshall's applied economics
