Professor Anthony John (Tony) Makin passed away unexpectedly in November 2021 aged 65. He will be sadly missed by his academic colleagues, especially those working in the areas of open economy macroeconomics, government deficit financing and Australian fiscal and monetary policy.


A special issue of the journal entitled “Economic Analysis and Policy” is being co-edited by his former Griffith University colleagues, Emeritus Professors Ross Guest and Christine Smith, to celebrate Tony’s scholarly achievements and life. The authors of the accepted papers will present their research papers in this memorial seminar.
