Notable economists who have contributed to the World Economic and Social Survey

Although the authors of the earlier issues of the Survey remain anonymous, some of the world’s leading economists contributed to them. For example, it is known that the famous economist Michal Kalecki was the primary author of the 1948 report. Hans Singer, a pioneer of development economics and one of the three economists to join the new Economics Department of the United Nations in 1947, was a leading member of the team preparing the report for more than a decade. Throughout its history, the Survey also benefited from written inputs, advice and encouragement from major academic economists outside the United Nations system as well as economists working in other bodies within the system, including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, UNCTAD, and the regional commissions. A number of notable economists who have contributed to the Survey are listed below.
