On June 1, 1990, Egon Sohmen would have reached the age of 60 had
he not suffered from a fatal illness. It demanded his death at the
early age of 46. If he were still with us, he would playa prominent
role in the current debate on monetary arrangements and on
allocation theory, perhaps in cluding environmental issues and
urban economics. His contributions are well remembered by his
colleagues and friends, by his former students, and by many in the
economics profession on both sides of the Atlantic. In
extrapolating his great achievements as a scholar and teacher
beyond the time of his death, one is inclined to suppose that Egon
Sohmen's name would figure high on many a list of candidates for
honors and awards in the field of international economics. For the
reconstruction of economics in the German language area Egon Sohmen
was invaluable. Born in Linz (Austria), he studied in Vienna at the
Business School (Hochschule fUr Welthandel, now Wirtscha
tsuniversitiit), then went to the US as a Fulbright scholar (1953),
returned to Europe to take his doctorate in Tiibingen, Germany,
(1954) and crossed the Atlantic again to teach at MIT (1955-58)
where he obtained a Ph. D. (1958) under Charlie Kindleberger. He
might have stayed permanently in the US, con tinuing a career that
he started as Assistant Professor at Yale University (1958-61), if
the US visa provisions had been applied in a more liberal fashion."
