Howard Scott Gordon[1] (1924–2019) was a Canadian economist. His seminal 1954 article Economic Theory of a Common Property Resource: The Fishery marked the beginning of the modern economics study of fisheries.[2] He spent most of his career teaching and writing in the history and philosophy of economics.
Life
[edit]Gordon was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He gained his undergraduate degree from Dalhousie University in 1944.[3] He was an economics graduate student at Columbia University and McGill University.[4]
He was a lecturer in economics at McGill in 1947-1948.[3] He then joined the recently established Carleton College (now Carleton University) in Ottawa.[3] He helped found the Economics Department at Carleton University and chaired the department from 1948 to 1966. He was a professor at the department of economics at Indiana University from 1966 to 1988.[4] He chaired the Economics Department at IU from 1970 to 1973. From 1983 he had a split appointment with the History and Philosophy of Science Department. He retired in 1988.[4]
Gordon taught summer courses in the history of economic theory at Queen's University from 1970 until 1996.[4][5]
Fishing quotas
[edit]Scott's most well-known and seminal research on the tragedy of the commons was found in a 1954 Journal of Political Economy paper The Economic Theory of Common Property Resource: The Fishery. The role of individual fishing quotas (IFQs), also known as "individual transferable quotas" (ITQs), was shown by Gordon in his original research about fishing economics.[6][7]
Honors and legacy
[edit]Gordon's students included Margaret Schabas,[8] and J. Alfred Broaddus.[9] In Welfare, Property Rights and Economic Policy - Essays and Tributes in Honour of H. Scott Gordon by T.K. Rymes the author celebrates Gordon as one of "Canada's most distinguished social scientist and economics scholars."[10] Rymes' book was cited in the International Journal of Transport Economics (1993).[11] Gordon was a Guggenheim Fellow for the academic year 1964–1965.[4][1] For the period of 1977-1978, Gordon served as president of the Canadian Economics Association.[12] His papers are in an archival repository at Indiana University. John Davis of Marquette University reviewed History of Philosophy of Social Science by H.Scott Gordon in the Southern Economic Journal.[13]
