Professor Marco Francesconi, Professor of Economics at the University of Essex, said: ‘I was lucky to share nine years with Malcolm at ISER. He was an excellent colleague, a true scholar full of knowledge of his research areas and curious to expand them constantly. Discussions with Malcolm did not stop with sociology or economics; he had an amazing familiarity with English theatre of all ages and a fine knowledge of classical music. Endless, witty, entertaining discussions on vegetarianism, Marlowe and Ibsen, Janacek and Birtwistle. He was a friend and will be sorely missed.’
