Equilibrium Theory and Applications

This collection features the proceedings from the Sixth Annual International Symposium in Economic Theory and Econometrics, which was held in honor of Jacques Drèze on his retirement. Drèze's contributions to general equilibrium theory have been pivotal, and this volume reflects on his extensive work throughout his career. Notably, he played a significant role in establishing the Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE) in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, which has become a cornerstone for research in this field.

The chapters included in Equilibrium Theory and Applications showcase recent advancements in general equilibrium theory, emphasizing both theoretical frameworks and practical applications. The symposium brought together leading economists who presented their findings and engaged in discussions about the future directions of economic theory. The papers cover a range of topics, illustrating the versatility and relevance of equilibrium concepts in contemporary economics.

Overall, Equilibrium Theory and Applications serves not only as a tribute to Jacques Drèze's legacy but also as a vital resource for researchers and practitioners interested in the ongoing developments in economic theory. It encapsulates the spirit of collaboration and innovation that characterized the symposium, making it an essential read for anyone keen on understanding the complexities of economic equilibrium and its applications.
