Frank P. Ramsey bibliography

Frank P. Ramsey⁠ was a forerunner of subjective Bayesian⁠ decision theory⁠ in many respects, solving early optimization problems in growth, defending subjective probability, and giving probably the first Value of Information⁠ proof.

Due to how long ago he worked and his premature death, his papers are hard to find, so I spent some time going through Wikipedia & other sources, and obtaining copies of most of his corpus and other relevant papers:
