ECONOMIST FROM U.S.

Month’s Visit To Chch. Professor Charles Kindleberger, professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will arrive in Christchurch this week as an Erskine fellow of the University of Canterbury to lecture for a month to students, staff, and businessmen. He is an authority on international liquidity and economic growth. After post-graduate study at Columbia University, New York, he was resident economist for the Federal Reserve Bank and then with the Bank of International Settlements before the Second World War. Appointed to the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System in 1940, he was seconded to the Office of Strategic Service when the United States entered the war and afterwards was chief adviser on German and Austrian economic affairs to the State Department. He went to M.I.T. in 1948. Professor Kindleberger is vice-president of the American Economic Association and a member of the Commission on International Liquidity. His many books cover mainly international capital movements, the dolar shortage, terms of trade, and economic growth, particularly in Europe.
