This weekend attended a celebration of Richard Zeckhauser's 50 years of teaching at Harvard. The event started with two panels focusing on different aspects of Richard's scholarship, followed by a dinner that included several speeches and a video tribute, with testimonials from friends, students, co-authors, and family. It was a wonderful event and it gave me the urge to write a little bit about Richard. I've had the privilege of knowing Richard for over 10 years now, as he was my primary advisor in graduate school and co-author. I also TA'd his notoriously challenging course at the Kennedy School, API-301.
