Francis Ysidro Edgeworth (1845-1926)
Economist irlandez. A studiat
limbile vechi si moderne la Trinity College din
Dublín. Vorbea germana, spaniola, franceza si italiana. Apoi a studiat legile
la Oxford. Se pare ca a studiat matematica pe cont propriu, fara a
participa la cursuri. In 1880 da cursuri de logica. In sfarsit in 1888 a fost
numit profesor de economie politica la King's College din Londra.
Aproape toate
scrierile sale se refera la economisti. Sunt analize ale
impozitelor, preturilor in situatiile de monopol si duopol, teorie pura asupra
comertului international si teorie a numerelor indice. Lucrarea sa "Matematica
psihica" (1881) este o aplicatie cantitativa a eticii utilitarismului
asupra vietii economice. Utilizarea curbelor de indiferenta a fost acceptata
foarte incet si cea a "nucleului" unei economii de schimb a reusit sa
atraga atentia ca rezultat al dezvoltarilor teoriei jocurilor. Astfel multe din
ideile sale sunt redescoperite astazi.
