Culyer quoted Kenneth Arrow as saying that Alchian was the "brightest economics student Stanford ever had."<ref name="Culyer"/>

CareerEdit

Alchian worked as a teaching assistant at Stanford (1937–40),<ref name="SinceKeynes"/> and then in 1940–41 he worked at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and Harvard University and in 1942 at the University of Oregon as an instructor.Template:Sfn He went on to serve in the Army Air Forces as a statistician between 1942 and 1946.<ref name="SinceKeynes"/>Template:Sfn

Alchian joined the Department of Economics at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1946.<ref name="UCLA"/> He was initially assistant professor (until 1952), then associate professor (until 1958), and eventually named professor in 1958.<ref name="SinceKeynes"/><ref name="Clough"/> He retired from UCLA in 1984 and was named professor emeritus of economics.<ref name="UCLA"/><ref name="SinceKeynes"/> It was not until 2007, at the age of 93, that he closed his campus office.<ref name="UCLA"/>

In classroom, Alchian adopted the Socratic method and disliked the traditional lecture method.Template:Sfn<ref name="Higgs"/> James M. Buchanan, briefly a colleague in the late 1960s, classified Alchian as "the best blackboard economist" he had ever known.Template:Sfn In 2006 John Riley, chair of the UCLA economics department, stated that Alchian was the "father of the modern-day economics department at UCLA, and set the future for it."<ref name="Crane"/> William R. Allen noted that the department's "golden age" was from 1950 to 1980 because of Alchian's presence and leadership in the department.<ref name="Crane"/>

Alchian was also affiliated with the RAND Corporation between 1946 and 1964 and was a consultant to business firms.<ref name="SinceKeynes"/> At RAND, he is remembered for his work on the hidden costs of regulation.<ref name="UCLA"/> Alchian was the first economist to be employed at RAND and "became the conduit through which many Chicago stalwarts such as Ronald Coase, Gary Becker, and others received lucrative consultancies from RAND."<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Alchian was also involved for around 20 years with the Law and Economics Center, initially affiliated with the University of Rochester, which provided "insight into economic theory to legal scholars and judges."<ref name="UCLA"/> Timothy Muris opined that Alchian was "unexcelled in teaching economics to lawyers."<ref name="Muris"/>

ResearchEdit

Alchian, an applied economist,<ref name="AER97"/> has been described by Robert Higgs as a master of applied price theory.<ref name="Higgs"/> Alchian was a neoclassical economist,<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> specifically of the Chicago School.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Along with Harold Demsetz, Alchian is considered to be the founder of the "UCLA tradition",<ref name="Clough"/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> alternatively known as the Los Angeles School.Template:Sfn Read explains: "Theirs is a school which shares some similarities with Chicago's emphasis on the free market, Harvard's tradition of institutional studies, and the strategic thrust of both the RAND Corporation and of the Hoover Institution, to which both contributed intellectually."Template:Sfn

Alchian was also influenced by the Austrian School,Template:Refn especially by the ideas of Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He was influenced by Mises' Human Action (1949).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Alchian famously interviewed Hayek in 1978,<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}

Alchian, along with James M. Buchanan and Ronald Coase, served as a bridge between the "Old" and "New" Chicago School.<ref name="Boettke&Candela"/> Boettke and Candela argue that these three economists founded the following branches in economics: New Institutional Economics, Law and Economics, and the economics of property rights.<ref name="Boettke&Candela"/> Indeed, Alchian is widely considered one of the founders of the New Institutional Economics.<ref name="BenjaminPERC"/>Template:Efn According to Robert Higgs Alchian had the greatest influence, aside from Coase, "in creating and fostering what has come to be known as the New Institutional Economics, one of the most notable improvements in mainstream economics during the past half century."<ref name="Higgs"/>

A large portion of Alchian's contribution is in property rights.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>Template:Efn<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Henderson argued that Alchian has been most impactful on the economic analysis of property rights and summarized his work on it as follows: "You tell me the rules and I'll tell you what outcomes to expect."<ref name="Henderson"/> Alchian opined that "In essence, economics is the study of property rights over resources."<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Peter Boettke noted in 2015 that Alchian is "recognized as the founder of what was called 'property rights economics' in which he had to re-introduce to the economics profession the important role that property rights play in the determination of economic performance."<ref name="Boettke"/>

While working at RAND in 1954, Alchian conducted the first event study to infer what kind of fuel material was used in the development of hydrogen bombs, the construction of which were secret at the time. He successfully identified lithium as the fusion fuel through publicly available financial data, finding only the stock of Lithium Corporation of America suddenly increased around the hydrogen bomb test Castle Bravo. However, the paper was confiscated and destroyed because it was seen as a threat to national security.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>

Notable publicationsEdit

Woodward he "had no use for formal models that did not teach us to look somewhere new in the known world, nor had he any patience for findings that relied on fancy econometrics."<ref name="Woodward"/>

GolfEdit

Alchian was a lifelong golferTemplate:Sfn and a regular visitor to the Rancho Park Golf Course.<ref name="LATimesobit"/> He often played golf with fellow economist George Stigler.<ref name="BenjaminPERC"/> He greatly admired the sport and wrote an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal in 1977, in which he argued that golf is "not merely a sport. It is an activity, a lifestyle, a behavior, a manifestation of the essential human spirit. Golf's ethic, principles, rules and procedures of play are totally capitalistic. They are antithetical to socialism.

Recognition and legacyEdit

Template:Quote box

In 1985 Mark Blaug listed Alchian as one of the "Great Economists Since Keynes".<ref name="Blaug"/> In a 2011 survey of around 300 economics professors in the U.S., Alchian ranked 17th among favorite living economists older than 60. He received the same points as Robert Fogel and Gordon Tullock.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>Template:Efn In 1984 Friedrich Hayek named Alchian and George Stigler his favorite economists "among the not really young ones."<ref name="Hayek1984"/> William R. Allen described him as "one of the superb economic analysts and teachers of the second half of the twentieth century."<ref name="Allen 2010"/> Walter E. Williams and Donald J. Boudreaux describe him as one of the top economists of the twentieth century and probably the greatest microeconomic theorist.Template:Efn

Nobel Prize debateEdit

Alchian never received a Nobel Prize, but numerous economists, such as Hayek,<ref name="Henderson"/> Harry Markowitz,Template:Efn Michael Intriligator,Template:Efn William R. Allen,<ref name="Allen 2010"/> David R. Henderson,<ref>Template:Cite news

</ref> believe he deserved one.Template:Efn Hayek told Henderson in 1975: "There are two economists who deserve the Nobel prize because their work is important but won't get it because they didn't do a lot of work: Ronald Coase and Armen Alchian."<ref name="Henderson"/>Template:Efn Allen nominated Alchian for the Nobel Prize in 1986 and characterized him as "a giant who, because of his lack of pretension, is easily overlooked by laymen and even by some supposed professionals—who has greatly honored his profession and uniquely contributed to its usefulness."<ref name="Allen 2010"/> Axel Leijonhufvud, who was a student and colleague of Alchian for thirty years,Template:Sfn suggested in 1996 that "his lack of self-promotion and his abstentiousness from it I think is what more than anything else has kept him from the Nobel prize so far. I can find no other explanation of the behavior of my countrymen."Template:Sfn

InfluenceEdit

A number of economists have been influenced by Alchian, including several Nobel laurates. Kenneth Arrow was "personally and intellectually closely linked" with Alchian and the latter's influence played a crucial role on Arrow's introduction of the concept of "learning curve" into an economic growth model.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> James M. Buchanan was inspired by Alchian's work on free tuition.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> William F. Sharpe, who took a graduate course taught by Alchian in 1956, named him one of his three mentors, whose approach to research he had attempted to emulate.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="UCLA"/> Sharpe called him a "brilliant mind grappling (usually very successfully) with the most difficult concepts in economics in thoroughly creative and innovative ways."<ref name="Sharpe95"/> Elinor Ostrom, an undergraduate student of Alchian, noted that as an institutional theorist, she "really appreciate[s] Alchian's approach" in the 1950 article "Uncertainty, Evolution, and Economic Theory".<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Walter E. Williams called him one of his "tenacious mentors."<ref name="Williams2007"/> William R. Allen named Alchian one of the two individuals who had had the greatest influence on his life, calling him "an older brother."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> John Lott stated that University Economics was responsible for him becoming an academic and going to UCLA.Template:Sfn

Other noted economists who were students of or were influenced by Alchian include Harold Demsetz,<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Steve Hanke,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Henry Manne,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Yoram Barzel,<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> David Prychitko,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Anthony J.
