	01.05.2005 Economics Nobel Prize winner Gerard Debreu dies
		Debreu won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1983 for applying mathematical rigor to the fundamental theory of supply and demand in economics.
		Debreu joined the UC Berkeley faculty in 1962 at a time when the economics department was pointedly building up its staff to create a powerhouse that would soon be recognized as one of the pre-eminent economic departments in the academic world.
		Debreu's Nobel was the first in a string of four Nobel Memorial Prizes in economics won by UC Berkeley faculty.

		Debreu asked many questions about, and suggested many of the solutions to, issues raised by the general equilibrium theory posed by Leon Walras in the 19th century (and before him in a different form by Adam Smith).
		Gerard Debreu was born in Calais on July 4 1921.
		Gerard was educated at the College of the City of Calais and hoped to go on to one of the scientific grandes écoles in Paris, but the outbreak of war made it impossible, and he studied Mathematics at Ambert and then Grenoble.

	Gerard Debreu
		For many years, Debreu has set the standard as well as posed most of the questions (and, in many cases, provided many of the solutions) that were to be addressed by mathematical economics - an achievement paralleled only by his intellectual brother-in-arms Kenneth J. Arrow.
		Debreu learnt his mathematics at the Bourbakist Ecole Normale Superieure and his economics from the works of Maurice Allais.
		Debreu's terse masterpiece, The Theory of Value (1959) remains the definitive statement of Neo-Walrasian theory in its purest, axiomatic form.

	Gérard Debreu, Prix Nobel d'économie 1983
		Professeur d'économie et de mathématiques, Gérard Debreu est un Français naturalisé américain qui a effectué l'essentiel de sa carrière à l'université de Berkeley en Californie.
		Debreu a travaillé sur la théorie de l'offre et de la demande, un mécanisme fondamental caractéristique de l'économie marchande et très étudié par les économistes depuis les Physiocrates et Adam Smith.
		L'apport de Gérard Debreu a été de vouloir modéliser ce mécanisme en y apportant toute sa rigueur de mathématicien.

		The academy announced that it was awarding the 1983 Nobel Prize in Economics to Debreu, 62, for three decades of distinguished achievement.
		Debreu's 1959 classic showed that a freely competitive economy can, in theory, reach a state in which supply balances demand in every market and there are neither shortages nor surpluses of any product.
		As a teacher, Debreu is known for jotting mathematical formulas in the upper left-hand corner of a flboard at the beginning of a lecture and then gradually covering every bit of remaining space with symbols, until he ends up in the lower right-hand corner.

		It is difficult to underestimate the luminous shadow cast by Gerard Debreu over Neo-Walrasian general equilibrium theory.
		For many years, Gerard Debreu has set the standard as well as posed most of the questions (and, in many cases, provided many of the solutions) that were to be addressed by mathematical economics - an achievement paralleled only by his intellectual brother-in-arms Kenneth J. Arrow.
		With Kenneth J. Arrow, Debreu provided one of the first simple proofs of existence of a competitive equilibrium (1954).

	Gerard Debreu -- an Honorary Unsubscribe
		An economist, Debreu studied the "invisible hand" described by 18th century economist Adam Smith: supply and demand, which was long talked about but never proven.
		So Debreu went to work on it, using mathematical models to, yes, prove that market prices regulate supply and demand; his innovative models are still used today.
		Kenneth Arrow and Gérard Debreu have throughout their careers continuously produced ideas at the very frontier of economics.
