OskarMorgenstern was groomed in the Austrian tradition, but was considerably less dogmatic in his tastes.
A professor at the University of Vienna in 1935, Morgenstern was also an active participant in Karl Menger's Vienna Colloquium and employed Abraham Wald in his institute.
Morgenstern continued working on a variety of themes, notably a reworking of the von Neumann multi-sector growth model (with Kemeny and Thompson, 1956, 1976), on national defense (1959), on economic data (1950) and on finance, notably the testing of the emerging random walk hypothesis (with Granger, 1970).
