Roy Harrod
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Roy Forbes Harrod (1900-1978) was an English economist. He, independently of Evsey Domar, developed an important economic model now called the Harrod-Domar model.
Born in Norfolk, Harrod attended New College in Oxford. Afterwards he spent some time at King's College, Cambridge. There he met John Maynard Keynes and made friends with him.
After moving back to Oxford, he became a Student (i.e. Fellow) and Tutor in economics at Christ Church. He was still in contact with Keynes and was later his biographer.
He married Wilhelmine Cresswell (Billa) in 1938[1].
