Abstract

These are the page proofs of the interview of Franco Modigliani by William A. Barnett and Robert Solow. The interview was published in the journal, Macroeconomic Dynamics, in 2000. Since William Barnett is one of the two interviewers, he now is permitted, by Cambridge University Press, to make the interview available as a 'working paper.' This interview contains some astonishing revelations about the life of Franco Modigliani, beginning with details of the circumstances regarding his move from Italy to France during the Second World War and his subsequent move to the United States.
