742R. Harrod to J. Marschak,
20 January 1938
[a]
Being is
particularly anxious to have some Oxford representation at the
British Association meeting, Harrod invites Marschak to contribute a
paper, possibly on a subject kindred to Champernowne's paper on the
regional and industrial distribution of unemployment and its
intensity in relation to the density of industry.
[1]
- 1. Marschak
read a paper on "Measurement of the Mobility of Labour" on behalf
of the Migration Group of the Institute of Statistics on 22 August
(Harrod liked Marschak's proposed title: letter of 24 January
1938, in JMP 1275, Box 147, folder H). Champernowne did not
present a paper, but, immediately after Marschak, R. C. Tress
delivered one on a very similar topic: "Local Diversity of
Industry and the Rate of Unemployment" (British Association for
the Advancement of Science, Report of the Annual Meeting, 1938,
London: British Association, 1938, p. 454).

147, folder H. Marked "Ans 23.1" in Marschak's hand.
