But Bill Phillips' career embraced much more than just the curve that came to carry his name. His work empbraced economic modelling including the famous MONIAC machine, stabilisation policy, econometrics, economic dynamics and economic development, with a particular interest in China.
Given this breadth, the NZAE combined with the Econometric Society (Australasian region) to host in Wellington, 9-11 July 2008, Markets and Models: Policy Frontiers in the AWH Phillips Tradition.
The 2008 annual general meeting (AGM) of the NZAE was held on Thursday 10 July at 1.30 pm in the Lion Harbour View Lounge at the Wellington Convention Centre, Wakefield Street, Wellington.
