Joseph Shield Nicholson (1850–1927) was an English economist, born at Wrawby, Lincolnshire.
He was educated at King's College London, Edinburgh, Cambridge, and Heidelberg. He was private tutor at Cambridge (1876–80) and became professor of political economy at Edinburgh in 1880.
He was the first president of the Scottish Society of Economists, serving from the creation of the Society in 1897 until 1903.[1]
His writings represent a compromise between the methods of the historical school of German economics and those of the English deductive school. In his principal work, Principles of Political Economy (three volumes, 1893–1901), he closely follows John Stuart Mill in his selection of material, but employs statistical and historical discussion instead of the abstract reasoning from simple assumption which characterizes Mill's work.
He is buried in the 20th century extension to Dean Cemetery in the central section.
