| dc.description | This book, a festschrift containing essays by Emeritus Professor Murray Kemp’s former students and colleagues, as well as several papers by Murray himself and with a former student, is dedicated to him in celebration of his 90th birthday. It follows the celebration of his 65th, 70th and 80th birthdays and the books associated with those occasions. Apart from the scholarship of the festschrift, it is a testimony of the affection, admiration and regard for Murray by his colleagues and former students. Prof. Murray is a direct descendant of Captain Anthony Fenn Kemp, a colorful and forceful leader after the First Fleet arrived at the new British colony in Australia. Born in Melbourne in 1926, the son of a bank manager, his last few years at school were at Wesley College. He was dux of the school and he commenced his studies at the University of Melbourne in 1944. He had contemplated doing Medicine or Law but lacked the necessary prerequisite subjects. And so, he decided to do Commerce and Economics. No doubt a loss to those disciplines but what a tremendous gain to Economics! He was also a keen sportsman and played tennis, cricket and golf. Graduating B.Com., B.A. (1st class Honours) in 1947 and an MA in 1949, he had intended to work in the Commonwealth Treasury in Canberra. But the stern intervention of Ben Higgins, who was then Professor at Melbourne University, led him to undertake graduate studies at Johns Hopkins instead, completing his Ph.D. in 1955 under the supervision of Evsey Domar. In the meantime, from 1951 to 1959, he taught at McGill and MIT, with a short stint as Nuffield Fellow in Cambridge, England. Since taking up his appointment as Professor of Economics in 1961, he has spent most of his academic career at the University of New South Wales, where he is now Emeritus Professor. | - |
