Abstract
Colander’s body of work includes 80 collaborative pieces. He started with a big push, collaborating with Abba Lerner. Colander’s original dissertation, which focused on mathematics, was pedestrian. He was rescued by two stalwarts, Ned Phelps and William Vickrey, who put him on a new path. Colander’s new idea came during the double-digit price inflation of the 1970s, which underscored the need for “market in rights to change prices,” which could have solved the inflation problem. Colander points out that his original encounter with Abba Lerner at an American Economic Association meeting was also related to collaborative ventures. This falls into one of his categorical reasons for collaboration, namely institutionally fostered collaboration. The other reasons for collaboration include some combination of the following: (1) gains from trade, (2) collective enjoyment, (3) desire to help someone or to be helped and (4) strategic collaboration. He also highlights that “collaboration comes naturally.”
