BIOGRAPHY

Life and Work

After a period in legal practice, the native Tyrolean received the venia legendi (the right to teach) in economics at Innsbruck in 1889, which was transferred to the University of Vienna in 1892 and extended to the whole of political economy in 1895. He subsequently worked in Vienna at the Central Statistical Commission and from 1899 held the chairs of economics at the Technical University, at the University of Agriculture (Hochschule für Bodenkultur) and, from 1915, at the University of Innsbruck. From 1903 to 1905 he held the office of rector of the University of Agriculture in Vienna and from 1922 to 1925 that of rector of the University of Innsbruck. Schullern zu Schrattenhofen, who in his younger years had still been a combative champion of marginal utility theory, turned increasingly in later life to agricultural policy and agricultural history. His easily readable textbook Grundzüge der Volkswirtschaftslehre (1911) (Principles of Economics) rests on the subjectivist theory of value.
