Knight, Frank H. ( 1885-1972 )

Knight, Frank H., en colaboración con Jacob Viner, dirigió el Departamento de Economía de la Universidad de Chicago desde los años 20 hasta finales de los 40, jugando así un papel central en el establecimiento del carácter de ese Departamento, un papel comparable al que jugó Joseph Alois Schumpeter en Harvard o Robbins en la LSE.

Knight, Frank H.

Estudió en la Universidad de Tennessee y se doctoró en la de Cornell, donde fue discípulo de A.A. Young. Además de Chicago, también fue profesor en las Universidades de Cornell y Iowa.

Su famosa tesis Riesgo, Incertidumbre y Beneficio (1921) sigue levantando pasiones hoy día. En ella establece su famosa distinción entre "riesgo" (aleatoriedad con probabilidades conocidad) e "incertidumbre" (aleatoriedad con probabilidades desconocidas) subrayando el papel del empresario en la economía.

Sus numerosas recensiones en el Journal of Political Economy de la Universidad de Chicago le sirvieron para exponer sus ideas sobre muchos temas y le condujeron a polémicas con destacados autores sobre la teoría del capital, la economía del bienestar, el keynesianismo y el positivismo.
