Beckmann, McGuire, and Winsten
On November 14, 2005, at the INFORMS National Meeting in San Francisco, California, two sessions were sponsored by the Transportation and Logistics Section of INFORMS to mark the 50th Anniversary of the publication of Studies in the Economics of Transportation. The book, co-authored by Martin Beckmann, C. Bart McGuire, and Christopher B. Winsten, was published in 1956 by Yale University Press. Both Professors Beckmann and McGuire were in attendance at the sessions and at the conclusion of the sessions shared their reflections on the book with the audience. Speaking at the sessions were Professors David Boyce, Michael Florian, Don Hearn, Hani S. Mahmassani, Anna Nagurney, and Tim Roughgarden. The Cowles Foundation at Yale University, through its director, Dr. Philip Haile, kindly provided plaques and citations for Professors Beckmann and McGuire. The celebration concluded with a luncheon at the ANZU Restaurant at Hotel Nikko San Francisco. |
