Abstract
The essays in this volume are dedicated to H.S. Houthakker on the occasion of his 68th birthday. Holland over the years has produce a disproportionate share of the world’s great economists -- Jan Tinbergen, Tjalling Koopmans, Henri Theil . . . and Hendrik Samuel Houthakker! Henk Houthakker started young. His first published paper (in english), when he was just 26, was an immediate classic. In the words of Paul Samuelson (Economica, 1950, p. 356): “A chapter in the history of utility theory has now been brought to a close by Mr. Houthakker’s important discussion of integrability.” And there is no slackening of activity or enthusiasm in his 68th year.
