In memory of professor emeritus Tony Scott

The Vancouver School of Economics (VSE) community was deeply saddened by the passing of professor emeritus Tony Scott on February 17, 2015. Scott began teaching in the Department of Economics at UBC in 1953, where he was Chair from 1967 to 1971.

“Tony was a first-rate scholar who made major and lasting contributions in the field of resource economics, and a builder of Economics in Canada and at UBC. He was, among many other things, the founding president of the Canadian Economics Association, a chair of our department, and a publicly engaged economist who made important policy contributions in the areas of natural resources and federalism,” says director of VSE Thomas Lemieux.

A memorial service will be held on February 28, 1 p.m at the Celebration Hall of Mountain View Cemetery. Memorial donations can be made to the A. D.
