Bücher von Jacques Dreze

Professor Dreze is a highly respected mathematical economist and econometrician. This book brings together some of his major contributions to the economic theory of decision making under uncertainty, and also several essays. These include an important essay on 'Decision theory under moral hazard and state dependent preferences' that significantly extends modern theory, and which provides rigorous foundations for subsequent chapters. Topics covered within the theory include decision theory, market allocation and prices, consumer decisions, theory of the firm, labour contracts, and public decisions.

This 1991 book is a selection of Jacques Dreze's work on the topics of lasting unemployment, stagflation and unused capacity. The author has contributed to the formulation and analysis of general equilibrium models which allow for price rigidities and excess supply and lend themselves to econometric implementation.

In instituting its prospective studies the European Cultural Founda tion has to some extent gone against tradition.
