David Davidson (economist)


David Davidson was a noted Swedish economist. He was professor of economics and taxation law at Uppsala University from 1890 to 1919.
He founded and edited the journal Ekonomisk Tidskrift. Via the journal, Davidson has been credited with switching Swedish economic analysis from one that followed the German Historicist approach to one in which Anglo-American style economic theory played a more dominant role.
His work has been described as Neo-Ricardian.
Davidson was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1920.
