Abstract

Abstract: With the recently released biography of A. W. H. Phillips by Alan Bollard (2016), this article focuses upon his time in Australia over two separate periods. This includes his sabbatical spent in Melbourne and Sydney in 1959 when he worked on an Australian version of his famous curve taking into account the different institutional background and then when he took up a professorial chair in economics at the Australian National University. Using new archival material the paper delves into both episodes and how Phillips career at the ANU was cut short by a major illness.
