Alfredo Canavese Memoria Intelectual

At the end of March 2009 we lost Alfredo Canavese, a distinguished and committed Associate Editor of the Journal of Economics and Statistics. We economists knew at once that this was not just another loss. The shock that his tragic death generated among us indicated this. It was not only the affection he unanimously aroused as an exceptional, intelligent and generous human being; we were also moved by his example, which became a legacy and a demanding yardstick by which to measure ourselves. Canavese had been - and would continue to be - exemplary as a researcher and teacher.A fines de marzo de 2009 perdimos a Alfredo Canavese, distinguido y comprometido Editor Asociado de la Revista de Economía y Estadística. Los economistas supimos al instante que no se trataba de una pérdida más. La conmoción que su muerte trágica generó entre nosotros así lo indicaba. No se trataba sólo del afecto que unánimemente despertaba como ser humano excepcional, inteligente y generoso; nos movilizaba también su ejemplo convertido en herencia y en exigente vara para medirnos. Canavese había sido- y seguirá siéndolo- ejemplar como investigador y como docente.
