Robert Aaron Gordon (born Aaron Goldstein;[1] July 26, 1908 – April 7, 1978) was an American economist. He was a professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley from 1938 to 1976. In 1975, he served as president of the American Economic Association.[2]
He was married to economist Margaret Gordon (1910–94).[3][4] Both of their sons, Robert J. Gordon and David M. Gordon, became notable economists as well.[5]
In 1959, with funding from the Ford Foundation, Gordon and James Edwin Howell published Higher Education for Business, later known as the Gordon-Howell report. It is considered a key event in the history of business management and its development as a profession. The report gave detailed recommendations for treating management as a science and improving the academic quality of business schools.[6][7][8][9][10] The next thirty years are sometimes referred to as a "Golden Age" in which quantitative social science research became an established part of business schools.[11][6]
