 | | An independent-minded French economist, Maurice Allais strove to carry the message of the original Lausanne School of Leon Walras and Vilfredo Pareto into the modern era, through what we have called the Paretian Revolution of the 1930s. |
 | | Maurice Allais wrote two major treatises in the 1940s, Á la Recherche d'une discipline économique (1943, reprinted 1952) and Economique et interet (1947) whose inspiration was to a great part derived 'from meditation upon the works of Leon Walras, Irving Fisher and especially Vilfredo Pareto, three great masters who deeply influenced me' (Allais, 1992). |
 | | The contribution Allais is generally best known for in the Anglo-Saxon world is the Allais Paradox in the theory of choice under uncertainty - which he presented in a series of papers in 1953. |
