After returning to Japan, he continued his research at his alma mater, and served as a professor of economics there from 1891 to 1931. His main work, On the Shifting and Incidence of Taxation (1892), is famous as a culmination of modern tax shifting theory that introduced marginal utility theory. He was also one of the founders of the American Economic Association, serving as its president from 1902 to 1904, and as editor-in-chief of the Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences (16 volumes, 1927-35), contributing greatly to the development and nurturing of American economics.

[Died] January 2, 1961. Middletown, New York. Swiss-born American painter. Studied at the Ecole des Arts et d'Arts in Geneva. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, he worked with groups of artists from the Abstraction Création and Surrealist movement in Paris and elsewhere, and his works from this period show the influence of Arp and Miro. In 1939, he moved to the United States. He produced a series of works entitled "Forms of Cyclonic Regions," in which his interest in the climates of the New World is mixed into his own unique world of illusion, as well as a series of figures wrapped in bandages. The core of his art was surrealist human expression deeply rooted in medieval magical tendencies.
