Hart, and others to clarify the concept of liquidity had shown how important anticipating new information was to economic behavior and launched Marschak on a series of studies regarding the economics of information. The value, or demand price, of information in any context was governed by the additional benefit that could be obtained by its optimal use, an approach he initiated in 1954 and summarized in 1971. This subject, originally broached by Marschak, has since become a major research area' (Kenneth J. Arrow, Biographical Memoirs, Vol. 60, 1991, National Academy of Sciences, pp. 140-1). It 'was Marschak's papers of 1954 and 1955 that made explicit the role of information in economic behavior and organization. Specifically, he considered the economic problems in the acquisition of information and the role of transmission of information from one individual to another in a cooperative organization. It is to these papers that the subsequent explosion in the economics of information . . . can be traced' (Kenneth J. Arrow, Cowles in the History of Economic Thought, Abstracted from the Cowles Fiftieth Anniversary Volume; Yale University Web site). ISBN for Volume I: 9027705445. ISBN for Volume III: 9027705461.
