A special issue of the journal Economics of Education Review was published in 2004 in honor of Dr. Billy F. Kiker, professor of economics. The journal, founded in 1979, is edited by Dr. Elchanan Cohn, also a professor of economics at the Moore School.  In a preface to the special issue, Cohn wrote that he decided to honor Kiker to recognize him for “his contributions to the field in general and to this journal in particular.” Cohn said that Kiker’s “seminal essays on the roots of the concept of human capital are required reading in many colleges and universities. His contribution to the field involved major improvements in the analysis of wage determination and the role of education therein….Moreover, as a frequent referee, author, and member of the editorial board, Bill provided valuable input over the past 25 years.”
