The Letters of A. A. Kaufman to L. I. Bortkewicz
Abstract
The letters of the famous Russian statistician, an alumnus of Petersburg University A. A. Kaufman (1864 –1919) to L. I. Bortkewicz (1868–1931) are published for the first time.
The letters have been stored in the library of Uppsala University and therefore have not been broadly known. The letters shed light on Kaufman as an economist and allow us to understand academic interrelations between the two scientists. They also provide a picture of economic science at the Department of Law of Petersburg University theoretical schools of Russian. The publication is supported with the introduction and extensive comments to the letters.
