SUMMARY:Francis Edgeworth: A Centenary Celebration of an Oxford Economist
DESCRIPTION:On 13 February 2026\, the University of Oxford will mark the centenary of the death of Francis Ysidro Edgeworth\, one of the most original and influential figures in the history of Economics. Edgeworth held the Drummond Professorship of Political Economy at Oxford and was a Fellow of All Souls College. He is celebrated for pioneering the use of mathematical methods in Economics\, developing utility theory\, and introducing concepts – such as indifference curves and the Edgeworth box – that remain at the core of microeconomics today. \nTo honour Edgeworth’s legacy\, we invite you to a special two-hour event designed for a broad economics audience\, from interested undergraduates and graduate students to faculty and friends of the subject. The event will also recognise Edgeworth’s central role in the profession: as founding editor of the Economic Journal\, the journal of the Royal Economic Society\, he shaped economic discourse for 35 years and helped to establish standards that still influence the field. \nThe programme will feature four short talks highlighting different dimensions of Edgeworth’s life and work. Prof Sir John Vickers will reflect on Edgeworth as an Oxford figure and theorist of monopoly. Prof John Sutton will explore Edgeworth’s contributions to oligopoly theory. Prof Mary Morgan will discuss Edgeworth in the context of her work on models in economics\, and Prof Kevin O’Rourke will examine Edgeworth’s insights on trade and international economics. Together\, these perspectives will offer an accessible yet intellectually rich introduction to Edgeworth’s ideas and their lasting impact. \nThe event is organised by Michael McMahon and John Vickers. It will take place in Oxford from 4pm to 6pm and will be streamed live for those unable to attend in person. All those with an interest in economics – students at all levels\, faculty\, and members of the wider economics community – are warmly encouraged to join. Registration is free but required\, please RSVP.
