143 Harvard doctoral dissertations in economics are listed here for the period 1875-1929, plus ten Radcliffe dissertations. Some half-dozen are judgment calls, and if anything I have erred on the side of inclusion for the list. It was not until 1904-05 that “Economics” was even listed as a Ph.D. subject at Harvard and the boundary between historians interested in economic history and economists interested in history is pretty fuzzy anyway up to the last third of the 20th century. Further complicating matters is the fact that sociology was a part of economics at Harvard (and often elsewhere) for most of this period. I have identified the actual subject that the Ph.D. was awarded for (in square brackets after the name with the sub-field in parentheses) to alert researchers interested in using this list. Laughlin clearly wrote his dissertation outside of economics (in history) but his subsequent career was completely embedded in economics. The claims of sociology for Du Bois are stronger than those of economics looking back from his later career but his subjects were classified as “constitutional history and economics” at the time of his graduation.
I shall be updating the information on this page so anyone interested in using this list is advised to check back.
At the bottom of this post are links to the Harvard and Radcliffe presidential reports’ lists of Ph.D.’s awarded.
