In memoriam: R. Morris Coats, a second wave public choice scholar in camouflage

Abstract

R. Morris Coats, late Professor of Economics and Argent Bank Professor of Business Administration (2000-2006) at Nicholls State University, was a prolific scholar in the area of public (choice) economics. The present memoriam piece contends that he was a highly significant figure among the “second wave” of public choice scholars.
