Abstract
Gordon was born 26 July 1908 in Washington, DC, and died 7 April 1978 in Berkeley, California. He was a policy-oriented economist whose research style was quantitative but not econometric, and whose influence was felt not only through his basic research but also as a dedicated and tireless public servant. After his formative years as graduate student and instructor at Harvard University, 1929–38, he accepted a position at the University of California (Berkeley), where he remained until his retirement from teaching in 1976.
