About this person
The most familiar of his many contributions in the field of economics were his statement of consumer demand theory in microeconomics, and the IS-LM model (1937), which summarised a Keynesian view of macroeconomics. His book Value and Capital (1939) significantly extended general-equilibrium and value theory. The compensated demand function is named the Hicksian demand function in memory of him.
