I've tried to expand a bit on Leijonhufvud's differences with Keynesian economics. I'll try to add more biographical material later and any help with that would be great. Wik-e-wik ( talk) 08:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC) reply

• According to the current article: PhD in 1967 in Evanston and position in Los Angeles in 1964. Really? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.220.192.125 ( talk) 15:56, 21 November 2009 (UTC) reply

• Yes, it looked strange to me too. But it appears to be true. In the Snowdon interview ( link) Leijonhufvud says "When I left Northwestern in 1963, at the end of two years, I had already written my thesis proposal." (p. 3); "After Northwestern I got a fellowship to go to the Brookings Institution for a year (1963-4)" (p. 4), "By then (1966) I had been at UCLA for two years" (p. 5). Also, his CV has him as "Acting" Assistant Professor during the period 1964-1967. -- CronopioFlotante ( talk) 23:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC) reply

Professor Leijonhufvud's name isn't the kind of thing English speakers see every day. It would be nice to have a sound file or IPA pronunciation or whatever. TooManyFingers ( talk) 20:46, 8 May 2022 (UTC) reply
