Chamberlin, Edward Hastings, 1899–1967 (B3)
Educated at the Universities of Iowa, Michigan and Harvard where his PhD, supervised by Allyn YOUNG, formulated the theory of MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION, his principal achievement. Although Joan ROBINSON produced a theory of IMPERFECT COMPETITION in the same period, Chamberlin was always keen to differentiate his theory from hers.
