Notes

1. E. Roy Weintraub (2007). When one of us asked graduate students in a course taught in the Netherlands some years ago if they knew the name of Tinbergen, the reply was: “Of course!” But they meant Niko, not his brother Jan. Niko Tinbergen shared the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine with Konrad Lorenz and Karl von Frisch “for their discoveries concerning organization and elicitation of individual and social behaviour patterns” (http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1973/), a field of increasing interest to behavioural economists.

2. There is no reference to Michael White's many innovative articles on Jevons, nor Philip Mirowski's More Heat than Light (1989) nor Margaret Schabas’ A World Ruled by Number (1990), which opened up new avenues for historical research on Jevons. See White (1994, 2004) and Maas (2005).

3. A full, though undoubtedly already outdated, inventory of the situation in which history of economics teaching finds itself in America and Europe can be found in HOPE's annual supplement for 2002.
