Abstract

As an undergraduate I was mad keen on mathematical economics and microeconomics. I liked the idea of doing something very pure, logical and clever. A PhD in the US was the obvious next step. I had the good fortune to be admitted to several graduate schools, and to be advised by Frank Hahn on which to choose. After pointing out the advantages of the other schools, his comment on Princeton was: “If you’re interested in theory, Hugo is your man.” Of course, this was irresistible to me.
