Gift of Tamera Williamson 2022.
Oliver E. Williamson was born in Superior, Wisconsin in 1932. He received a BS from MIT, an MBA from Stanford University in
1960, and his PhD from Carnegie Mellon University in 1963. From 1963 to 1965 he was Assistant Professor of Economics at the
University of California, Berkeley, after which he became Professor of Economics, Law and Public Policy at the University
of Pennsylvania. In 1983 he joined the faculty at Yale where he founded "The Journal of Law, Economics, & Organization,"
before returning to the University of California, Berkeley in 1986, where he held professorships in business administration,
economics, and law. He was appointed the Edgar F. Kaiser Professor Emeritus of Business, Economics and Law in the Haas School
of Business in 1988. He retired in 2004. In addition to his faculty positions Williamson served as Special Economic Assistant
to Donald F. Turner at the US Department of Justice Antitrust Division from 1966 to 1967. In 2009 Williamson was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Economics-an award shared with Elinor Ostrom, professor of political science and professor of public and environmental
affairs at Indiana University-for his analysis of organizational economics and his insights into what is known as the make
or buy decision. Williamson passed away in California in 2020.
