About William Jevons
William Stanley Jevons was one of the foremost
economists of the 19th century. He was one of the main British contributors
to the marginalist revolution in economic thought of the 1870s and one of
the founders of modern economic science. Aside from his pathbreaking
worth as a theorist, Jevons helped pioneer the practical use of economic
statistics and was on the first exponents of modern econometric methods.
Jevons was a student at the college and went on to become a professor
at UCL.
