Scottish school of economics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The School of Economics at the University of Edinburgh is a division of the University's College of Humanities and Social Science in Edinburgh.[1] While comprising a small school, the subject economics at the University has a long history. The first lessons in economics were delivered by Dugald Stewart in 1800, while William Ballantyne Hodgson was appointed as the first actual economics professor in 1871.[2] The subject's development progressed slowly until the subject became a major, then department and finally a separate school.
