Karl Brunner (16 February 1916 – 9 May 1989) was a Swiss economist. His main interest in economics was on the nature of the money supply process and the philosophy of science and logic. He moved to the United States in 1943. Together with Allan Meltzer, he created the Shadow Open Market Committee: a monetarist council that deeply criticized the Federal Open Market Committee.[1]
An award is given after his name in University of Rochester, William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration every year to the graduating non-US student with the highest record of academic achievement in the MBA program.
To commemorate his 100th birthday, the Swiss National Bank started the Karl Brunner Distinguished Lecture Series in 2016.[2] The first lecture was given by Kenneth Rogoff in Zurich.
