Extractions: Born in Cluj, Transylvania (now Romania, then part of Hungary) in 1902. In 1927, he enrolled in the mathematics department of the University of Vienna, receiving his PhD in 1931. He was one of Karl Menger's students and was quickly introduced to the Viennese banker and economist Karl Schlesinger who, in turn, introduced him to the problems of the sytem of Walras and Cassel being dealt with at the time by the Vienna Colloquium Wald wrote three papers (1935, 1936a,b) on the Walras-Cassel system, employing the important "Duality Principle" and complementary slackness conditions which he (together with Schlesinger ) developed for the Walras-Cassel G.E. system - which did away with the counting-equations- and-unknowns method, but allowed the return of Wieser's imputation theory back into economics and the employment of linear programming. Wald's third paper was particularly important and contributed several factors besides linear programming. Wald's paper was also the first proof of the existence of an equilibrium in a G.E. setting in economics. It also introduced several important concepts: the weak axiom of revealed preference (WARP) - later employed and developed by Paul Samuelson . He also addressed (briefly) the issue of whether it would hold in the aggregate (a question ignored and unanswered until the mid-1970s). He also defined a primitive form of the idea of "gross substitution" and provided a proof of the uniqueness of equilibrium. He also used these tools to tackle the existence of an equilibrium in a

http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Wald.html

Extractions: Abraham Wald was born into a Jewish family in Hungary. It was a family of intellectuals but, being Jewish, they were forced to earn their living in trades well below their abilities. At this time both primary and secondary schools in Hungary required pupils to attend on Saturdays and the Wald family could not allow their son to attend school on the Jewish Sabbath. As a result Abraham did not attend either primary of secondary school and was educated at home by members of his family. This certainly did not put him at a disadvantage from an educational point of view for his family were very knowledgeable and competent teachers. After World War I much of the land that had been part of Hungary was given to neighbouring countries and at that time Cluj became part of Romania. Wald was allowed to attend the University of Cluj but it appears that this was not made easy for him because he was Jewish. However his outstanding abilities in mathematics led him to wish to continue to undertake mathematical research and in 1927 he entered the University of Vienna to study with Karl Menger . He worked under Menger 's supervision on geometry and was awarded his doctorate in 1931.

Extractions: History has shaped our past; history will shape our future. Newton once said that he owned his success to his standing on the shoulders of scientific giants. History of statistics provides a ladder by which young statisticians climb to the shoulders of great statisticians. In the uneasy flow of human wisdom, statisticians have developped stochastic models of the ideal probability space, have built different inference bridges for crossing the gap between the data space and the probability space. To trace the development of these different models and of these inference methodologies is to inquire into the fasicnating intellectual tradition of statisticians and to test the null that staticians, together with scientists and engineers from other fields, have built the edifice of our scientific and social worlds.

Extractions: Economic Theory , 1999, vol. 13, issue 2, pages 417-428 Reinhard John rjohn@econ2.uni-bonn.de Abstract: For his proof of the existence of a general competitive equilibrium Abraham Wald assumed a strictly pseudomonotone inverse market demand function or, equivalently, that market demand satisfies the Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference. It is well known that more recent existence theorems do not need this assumption. In order to clarify its role in Wald's proof, the question of existence of an equilibrium for a modified version of the Walras-Cassel model is reduced to the solvability of a related variational inequality problem. In general, the existence of a solution to such a problem can only be proved by advanced mathematical methods.

The Vienna Colloquium

http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/vienna.htm

Extractions: The "Vienna Colloquium" run by the mathematician Karl Menger (son of the economist Carl Menger ) in the 1930s, brought together many different minds from mathematics but also the physical sciences, philosophy, statistics and economics, that eventually set in motion modern general equilibrium theory from its early roots in the Lausanne School. Among the relevant participants in the Colloquium besides Karl Menger , was the banker and amateur economist Karl Schlesinger as well as the young Oskar Morgenstern , the polymath John von Neumann and the statistician Abraham Wald . Other participants included assorted Viennese physicists and mathematicians like Kurt Gödel . The proceedings of the Colloquium were collected by Menger and published as the Ergebnisse eines mathematischen Kolloquiums during the 1930s. One could argue that the Vienna Colloquium was the product of three distinct intellectual strands: the logical positivist philosophy of the Vienna Circle , the mathematics of Hilbert's "formalist" programme and the economics of the Austrian School. In economics, the rallying point for the Vienna Colloquium was the investigation of metatheoretic general equilibrium systems with multiple, simultaneously interacting parts. For economists, the prototype of such a system was Gustav
