On 3 October 1935 he (Harrod) wrote to Robertson:"I have before me
Econometrica, with its Tinbergen and Kalecki. I suspect that Kalecki is
saying somthing thta I have been feeling towards, and I have got to try and
find out. But what a paper it is!. A letter from Kalecki survives dated 9
October 1935 certifying that HArrod actully read Kalecki's Econometrica
article and that he found it difficult to understand."

      Nice website, but it is at least slightly misleading
in its cover remarks. It seems to imply that Harrod
was the first to show a multiplier-accelerator model
of the trade cycle.  His 1936 article did precede most
others, including the more widely cited one by Samuelson
in 1939.  But Kalecki beat him to the punch in 1935.
      Although Kahn may have come up with multiiplier
only in the early 1930s, Aftalion had posited the accelerator
as early as 1913, and clearly saw it as a mechanism for
explaining cyclical fluctuations.
