TheSchool of Economics at theUniversity of Edinburgh is a division of the University's College of Humanities and Social Science inEdinburgh.[1] While comprising a small school, the subject economics at the University has a long history. The first lessons in economics were delivered byDugald Stewart in 1800, whileWilliam Ballantyne Hodgson was appointed as the first actual economics professor in 1871.[2] The subject's development progressed slowly until the subject became a major, then department and finally a separate school.
