Collection Overview
The Franco Modigliani Papers span the years 1936 to 2005, with the
bulk of the materials dating from the 1970s to 2003. Through correspondence,
extensive research notes, unpublished writings, lectures and presentations,
teaching materials, published materials, photographs, audiovisual materials,
scrapbooks, and clippings, the papers document the career of a noted economist
and Nobel Prize winner, from his earliest student work in
Italy through his 40-year tenure of teaching and
research at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The many
annotations written by Modigliani's wife and collaborator, Serena Modigliani,
found throughout the collection, provide further information contextualizing
the materials. The collection is organized into the following series:
Correspondence; Writings and Speeches; Teaching Materials; Professional
Service; Engagements; Printed Materials; Personal Files; Audio and Visual
Materials; and Electronic Formats. Oversize materials are described at the end of the finding aid. The collection is open to research; however,
it may contain materials to which Acknowledgment of Legal Responsibilities and
Privacy Rights form applies. Patrons must sign this form before using this
collection.
Researchers will find ample documentation in the collection on
Modigliani's work on the
life-cycle hypothesis of saving, leading to the
Nobel Prize in 1985. Other materials represent his work on topics and issues
such as
monetary policies, both domestic and foreign;
pension trusts;
public debt;
econometric modelling;
international finance and the
international payment system; the effects of and
cures for
inflation;
stabilization policies in
open economies; and various fields of finance such
as
savings and investment,
credit rationing,
mortgages, the term structure of
interest rates, and the valuation of
speculative assets. Extensive documentation can also
be found in the collection on Modigliani's key participation in the design of a
large-scale model of the U.S. economy, called the
MPS (an abbreviation deriving from collaborators
MIT, Pennsylvania State
University, and Social Science Research Council),
sponsored by the
Federal Reserve Bank, a model used by the U.S.
government until the 1990s. Other documents reveal Modigliani's analyses of the
forces of economics and politics in the United States as well as in Italy and
the European Union as a whole. His views on various social issues, including
the
arms race, are found throughout the papers,
especially in the many editorials and commentaries he wrote for newspapers and
other publications. The materials in this collection reveal the high value that
Modigliani placed on collaboration with other economists and with graduate
students, with whom he exchanged letters, notes, and drafts of writings and
commentary. Researchers examining the correspondence and writings will find the
comments, replies, and writings of his many colleagues on the same range of
topics. Significant correspondents or collaborators documented in the
collection include European and American economists such as
Albert Ando, with whom he collaborated on the MPS
model,
Mario Baldassarri,
John Bossons,
Jacques Drèze,
Merton Miller,
Paul Samuelson and
James Tobin. Many other major economists of the
twentieth century, as well as many political and academic individuals, are
represented in smaller amounts of writings and correspondence.
In addition to illuminating Modigliani's distinguished academic career
and his collaborative approach to teaching and research, the materials in this
collection offer insights into how he contributed significantly throughout his
life to European and United States economic growth and reform, through
professional service as an analyst, advisor, and expert witness. Organizations
that benefited from this work include the
Federal Reserve Board, the
Federal Reserve Bank, the U.S.
Congress, and the
Treasury Department. Other organizations with whom
Modigliani participated and corresponded and are represented in many series in
the collection are the offices of the
International Economic Association, the
American Economic Review, the
National Science Foundation, and the
National Academy of Sciences.
The Correspondence Series, second largest
in the collection, spans all of Modigliani's career, and consists chiefly of
professional exchanges initiated by his colleagues in the U.S. and in many
other countries. Many of the exchanges are in Italian, though most are in
English. Numerous correspondents requested that Modigliani review their
writings, and in most cases a draft of their manuscripts can be found in the
folder, often accompanied by Modigliani's comments. The correspondence also
contains more routine exchanges concerning student advising, academic
committees, and activities related to Modigliani's non-academic service. There
is very little personal or family correspondence in the collection, though
there are some exchanges between Franco Modigliani and his son Andr,
sociologist at the University of Michigan, and with his granddaughter Leah, a
financial analyst with Morgan Dean Stanley Witter, with whom Modigliani
collaborated on a formula for measuring stock risks.
The largest in the collection, the Writings and
Speeches Series is subdivided into several subseries, the most extensive
of which, the Research and Writings Subseries,
contains a wealth of notes, data, subject files, and writings that underpinned
and informed nearly all of Modigliani's most significant published works. These
extensive files document the evolution of Modigliani's thought on a wide range
of economic, social, and political topics, and the amount of materials in this
series contributed by his colleagues serves to underscore Modigliani's
collaborative approach to research and writing. As much as a third of the
material is in Italian. Many of Modigliani's speeches and lectures given around
the world, including his Nobel lecture on the life-cycle hypothesis of saving
in 1985, can be found in the Speeches and Lectures
Subseries. The Non-Academic Writings
Subseries contains other writings by Modigliani directed chiefly at a
popular audience, in the form of newspaper articles and editorials; while the
Writings by Others Subseries houses individual
writings, in both manuscript and published form, by Modigliani's colleagues
that were not part of the Research and Writings files.
Modigliani spent the greater part of his professional life serving in
a number of roles that helped shape the national economic policies in Europe,
particularly in Italy, and the United States. The Professional Service Series documents Modigliani's work
for various U.S. agencies and organizations. It includes materials from his
work under the
Federal Reserve Board (FRB), from about 1964 to
1983; these files include agendas, minutes, notes, correspondence, papers, and
statistical output relating to FRB meetings and
MPS Economic Model. Other files house information
relating to his frequent
Congressional testimony; his work with the
International Economics Association during the
seventies and eighties, including conference papers and programs, minutes from
executive committee meetings, nominating committee reports, and correspondence;
and his other periods of collaboration with the
Central Bank, the
National Academy of Sciences, the office of the
Secretary of the
U.S. Treasury, and others. Materials on
Modigliani's lengthy service to Italian and other European governments can be
found primarily in the Research and Writings Subseries of the Writings and Speeches Series
and the Correspondence Series.
The papers in the Teaching Materials Series document
Modigliani's career as a professor of economics through lecture notes, syllabi,
and some student papers, all filed in the Modigliani as
Teacher Subseries. Materials derive chiefly from his tenure at the
Massachussetts Institute of Technology, although
there are some materials from earlier appointments. There are some materials,
chiefly class notes, from Modigliani's own student days in the United States in
the Modigliani as Student Subseries.
The Personal Files Series is one of the
smallest in the collection. It contains materials pertaining to Modigliani's
life in
Italy and his emigration to the United States in
1939, diplomas and honorary degrees, and a number of folders containing
biographical information and articles honoring Modigliani's life and work.
Spanning several decades of internationally-recognized work and the
awarding of a
Nobel prize in 1985, the materials in the
Engagements Series, though routine in nature,
document the extent to which Modigliani spoke to academics and
the ordinary public about issues in economics, via lectures,
conferences, and interviews. Files in the Commitments
Subseries include routine correspondence, travel arrangements and
itineraries, and some writings related to the lecture or speech. The small
Calendars Subseries contains appointment books and
calendars dating from 1971 to 2003.
In addition to manuscript materials, the collection holds a great
number of published writings. These are chiefly housed in the
Printed Materials Series and take the form of
reports, journals, books, and many reprints of articles. Most of the materials
are written by Modigliani, but there are substantial numbers of publications by
others in this series. Almost all of the few dozen bound publications
originally found in the collection have been cataloged separately for the Duke
online catalog and will be housed in the rare books and Perkins Library stacks.
They can be accessed by searching the online catalog; a note in the record
indicates their original link with these papers. Although nearly all of
Modigliani's article-length published works are represented in this series,
including early articles from the 1930s, some titles may not be present.
The Audio and Visual Materials Series
serves as a repository for photographs, videocassettes, audiocassettes,
microfilms, and a few CD-ROMs, which contain interviews, lectures, and speeches
given by Modigliani, with a few including contributions by his colleagues. One
CD-Rom contains the proceedings from a posthumous conference held in 2005 in
remembrance of Modigliani. Family scrapbooks preserved on microfilm are made up
of clippings, programs, and other memorabilia related to significant events in
Modigliani's career. Use copies may need to be made of some items. Please
consult with Research Services staff before coming to use this collection.
Digital formats in the collection are grouped under the
Electronic Formats Series (RESTRICTED), which
contains correspondence, course materials, data, and drafts of writings and
speeches. The contents of the disks have been migrated to the Special
Collections server. A disk directory is available for use. Please consult with
Research Services staff before coming to use this series.

Detailed Description of Collection
Correspondence Series, 1944-2003 and undated, bulk 1960-2000
(26 boxes)
Chiefly professional correspondence, including comments on the
work of other economists, debates on current issues, recommendations, and
advising exchanges. As much as one quarter of the exchanges are in Italian.
Prolific correspondents represented in the collection include Modigliani's
close collaborators over the years:
Albert Ando,
Mario Baldassarri,
Tullio Jappelli,
Giorgio La Malfa, and
Merton Miller. His granddaughter,
Leah Modigliani, an economist and collaborator
on several projects, is also represented in this series. Major American and
Italian twentieth-century economists such as
Kenneth Arrow,
Jagdish Bhagwati,
Paul Davidson,
Peter Diamond,
Robert Hall,
Jacob Marschak,
Don Patinkin,
Paul Samuelson,
Robert Shiller,
Paolo Sylos Labini , and
Sidney Weintraub, among others, are
represented by smaller amounts of correspondence. Other correspondence with colleagues can be found throughout the Research and Writings Subseries files (Writings and Speeches Series), and to a lesser extent in the Professional Service Series and the Engagements Series.
There are many files of recommendation letters forming their own
series. In addition, there are general correspondence files under each letter
of the alphabet which contain single letters from a variety of individuals. The
series also contains Modigliani's non-academic correspondence chiefly stemming
from his work as a consultant to
Italian banks. Letters of protest, articles and
editorial pieces in newspapers (including New York Times, Corriere della Sera, and Financial
Times) document Modigliani's long-term involvement in civic acts and
protests against United States and European
fiscal policies and the
arms race, revealing the intersection of his
personal, academic, and political life. Arranged in alphabetical order by last
name or subject, then chronologically within folders.

Writings and Speeches Series, 1936-2004 and undated
(58 boxes)
Largest series in the collection. Arranged into the following
subseries: Research and Writings, Speeches and Lectures, Writings by Others,
and Non-Academic Works. See subseries descriptions below.
Research and Writings Subseries, 1936-2004 and undated, bulk 1960-2003
(44 boxes)
Contains extensive documentation related to Modigliani's
research and to the writing of his articles, papers, or book-length works. It includes several early writings by Modigliani, most notably his doctoral thesis, circa 1944, "The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money Under the Assumptions of Flexible Prices and of Fixed Prices" (New School of Social Research). Other writings from 1936-2003 can be found in the Non-Academic Works Subseries below, and in the Printed Materials Series, which houses reprints of almost all published articles by Modigliani.
Research notes and correspondence are often organized in folders with the
titles of the published work to which the materials relate. Other folders of
research notes are categorized by subject terms. Formats include
correspondence, drafts of writings, data, research notes, bibliographies, and
econometric estimations. Major topics include
econometric modeling; the
life-cycle hypothesis of savings;
social security;
European Union and Italian economies;
government
economic policies;
inflation;
unemployment (especially in
Europe); and
mortgages. Other groups of materials represent
Modigliani's long-term involvement with various projects, including the
"MPS" model (an abbreviation deriving from the
collaborators -- MIT, Penn State, and the Social Sciences Research Council) of
the U.S. economy, sponsored by the United States Federal Reserve, and the
NSF-funded project in the 1980s on
monetary mechanisms and
stabilization policies. There are also
materials that pertain to Modigliani's memoirs,
Adventures of an Economist,
published in 2003.
This subseries also includes Modigliani's comments on papers
written by others. In this case, the comments are in a folder with the title of
the original paper followed by "comments, F. Modigliani" and date. Overall, the
subseries is further enhanced by the frequent presence of related
correspondence between Modigliani and his co-authors or commentators, as well
as printed materials (such as reports, clippings, reprints and journal
articles) and writings by others, both published and unpublished, related to
Modigliani's research. Significant collaborators and correspondents include
S. L. Cao,
Tullio Jappelli,
Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa,
Robert Solow, and
Arlie Sterling. Arranged in alphabetical
order by title of work, by subject, or by personal last name, then
chronologically within folders.
