Richard Hal Snape (1936–2002)
Richard Snape was one of Australia’s most distinguished economists. He was Deputy Chair of the Productivity Commission and Emeritus Professor of Monash University, a Board Member of the Australian Research Council, Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and a Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Society of Australia.
