Salter, Wilfred Edward Graham (1929–1963)

Abstract

When Salter died in Pakistan at the very early age of 35 he had already established himself as an authority on technical progress and productivity change, both theoretically and empirically. A graduate of the University of Western Australia, and Clare College, Cambridge (where he won the much-coveted Stevenson Prize), his PhD thesis was to become his most cited work – Productivity and Technical Change (1960).
