	Vilfredo Pareto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vilfredo Pareto (born July 15, 1848 in France - died August 19, 1923 in Lausanne, Switzerland) made several important contributions to economics, sociology and moral philosophy, especially in the study of income distribution and in the analysis of individuals' choices.
		The Pareto index is a measure of the inequality of income distribution.
		The Pareto chart is a special type of histogram, used to view causes of a problem in order of severity from largest to smallest.

	Vilfredo Pareto
		The Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto was one of the leaders of the Lausanne School and an illustrious member of the "second generation" of the Neoclassical revolution.
		Pareto's theory of society claimed that there was a tendency to return to an equilibrium where a balanced amount of Class I and Class II people are present in the governing élites.
		Finally, Pareto's ruminations on the potential efficiency of a collectivist society were aired in the Socialist Calculation Debate that arose between the Paretians and the Austrians.

	Vilfredo Pareto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Pareto names four principle classes of derivations: 1) derivations of assertion; 2) derivations of authority; 3) derivations that are in agreement with common sentiments and principles; and, 4) derivations of verbal proof.
		Pareto gives another example, about a woman who tries to shoot her seducer, hits a third party who has nothing to do with her grievance, and is ultimately acquitted by the courts.
		Pareto's theory of rule by elites, his authoritarian leanings, his uncompromising rejection of the liberal fixation with Economic Man, his hatred of disorder, his devotion to the hierarchical arrangement of society, and his belief in an aristocracy of merit are all ideas in harmony with Fascism.

	The Pareto Principle - The 80/20 rule
		In 1906, Italian economist and sociologist, Vilfredo Pareto (sometimes misspelled Wilfredo, Alfredo, or Vilfred) created a mathematical formula to describe the uneven income distribution in Switzerland at that time, observing that eighty percent of the wealth was held by a mere twenty percent of the families.
		Because Pareto's initial discovery involved a distribution of 80% of wealth to 20% of families and it's inverse, the Pareto Principle is often called "The 80/20 rule".
		Pareto's Principle, or the 80/20 Rule, should serve as a continual reminder to focus eighty percent of your effort on the twenty percent of your tasks that matter the most.

	Vilfredo Pareto Guide
		In 1893 he was chosen to succeed Léon Walras in the chair of political economy at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
		Pareto's first work, Cours d'economie politique (1896-97), included his famous 'law' of income distribution, a complicated mathematical formulation in which he attempted to prove that the distribution of incomes and wealth in society is not random and that a consistent pattern appears throughout history, in all parts of the world and in all societies.
		Pareto wrote a sociology of the political process in which history consists essentially of a succession of elites whereby those with superior ability in the prevailing lower strata at any time challenge, and eventually overcome, the existing elite in the topmost stratum and replace them as the ruling minority.

	Vilfredo Pareto, Biography: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Although Pareto thought his law should be "provisionally accepted as universal," he thought that exceptions were possible, and as it turns out, many exceptions have been found.
		Pareto is also known for showing that the assumption that the utility of goods can actually be measured was not necessary for deriving any of the standard results in consumer theory.
		A self-described pacifist who disdained honors, Pareto was nominated in 1923 to a Senate seat in Mussolini's fledgling government but refused to become a ratified member.

	VILFREDO PARETO - BIOGRAFIA
		Pareto, insomma, vuole separare in modo concettuale le componenti razionali dell'azione dalle componenti non razionali.
		Su questa distinzione Pareto costruisce l'edificio della sua sociologia e arriva alla formulazione della "teoria dell'equilibrio sociale" che, a somiglianza di quella dell'equilibrio economico, appoggia sui fattori individuali già citati e sui fenomeni d'insieme, di gruppo, ai quali i fattori individuali danno vita.
		Pareto non perde d'occhio quanto accade attorno a lui.

	Pareto corrección
		Years ago I gave the name "Pareto" to this principle of the "vital few and trivial many." On subsequent challenge, I was forced to confess that I had mistakenly applied the wrong name to the principle.
		The caption under these curves reads "Pareto's principle of unequal distribution applied to distribution of wealth and to distribution of quality losses." Although the accompanying text makes clear that Pareto's contributions specialized in the study of wealth, the caption implies that he had generalized the principle of unequal distribution into a universal.
		Pareto observed this phenomenon as applied to distribution of wealth, and advanced the theory of a logarithmic law of income distribution to fit the phenomenon.

	Pareto Diagram
		Pareto diagrams are named after Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian sociologist and economist, who invented this method of information presentation toward the end of the 19th century.
		The fundamental idea behind the use of Pareto diagrams for quality improvement is that the first few (as presented on the diagram) contributing causes to a problem usually account for the majority of the result.
		Pareto analysis is most effective when the problem at hand is defined in terms of shrinking the PV to a customer target.

	Pareto - The Person - Academic Career (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In Lausanne, Pareto at first continued to write his critical monthly chron- icle for the Giornale degli Economisti, in which he pursued his anti-interven- tionist and anti-protectionist critique of the hated Italian government and the wheelers and dealers who remained in the political saddle.
		Pareto's misanthropic predisposition and lack of faith in humanity were presumably increased when, after returning from a trip to Paris, he found that his wife had absconded with the cook, taking thirty cases of valuables with her.
		Had Pareto lived it is unlikely that he would have endorsed the complete suppression of liberties during the later stages of Mussolini's regime, or that he would have looked with favor on the state-interventionist course of the fully matured fascist regime.

	Pareto Law
		In the late 1800s, Vilfredo Pareto, an economist, established that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population.
		The Pareto law, in its generalized form, states that 80 % of the objectives - or more generally the effects - are achieved with 20 % of the means - or more generally the causes or the agents.

	Wealth Distribution and the Role of Networks : Finance : HBS Working Knowledge
		But in 1897, an Italian engineer-turned-economist named Vilfredo Pareto discovered a pattern in the distribution of wealth that appears to be every bit as universal as the laws of thermodynamics or chemistry.
		But when Pareto studied the numbers more closely, he discovered that they dwindled in a very special way toward the wealthy end of the curve: Each time you double the amount of wealth, the number of people falls by a constant factor.
		In a Pareto distribution, the factor by which the number of people declines as wealth increases remains constant in any particular country, but the factor itself is different in different countries.

		By: Arthur W. Hafner, Ph.D. Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) was an Italian economist who, in 1906, observed that twenty percent of the Italian people owned eighty percent of their country's accumulated wealth.
		Over time and through application in a variety of environments, this analytic has come to be called Pareto's Principle, the 80-20 Rule, and the "Vital Few and Trivial Many Rule." Called by whatever name, this mix of 80%-20% reminds us that the relationship between input and output is not balanced.
		Pareto's rule states that a small number of causes is responsible for a large percentage of the effect, in a ratio of about 20:80.

	That's the way the money goes
		Pareto found that the exponent E was always between 2 and 3 (see Diagram) for every European country he looked at, from agrarian Russia to industrial England.
		This is still a Pareto law, but with the wealth distributed somewhat more equitably, the rich own a smaller fraction of the overall pie.
		Having illuminated Pareto's law of wealth, Bouchaud and MÉzard's approach is pointing towards a deeper theoretical perspective on economics.

		In the late 1800s, Pareto discovered that 80% of the land in his home country was owned by 20% of the population.
		Pareto was also an avid gardener, and observed that 20% of the peapods in his garden yielded 80% of the peas that were harvested.
		The Pareto Principle is perhaps most famous for its suggestion that successful people tend to achieve 80% of their results from only 20% of their efforts.

	Root cause analysis - using pareto charts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Pareto analysis is one way to figure out what the major causes are for particular problems.
		Pareto charts are useful because most problems tend to come from one or two processes or components, rather than from a large number of causes.
		A Pareto chart is simply a histogram, where the horizontal axis shows categories (process or material problems), the vertical Y axis shows the number or proportion of incidents, and the vertical axis shows the cumulative percentage of incidents.

	Pareto in Toscana
		Pareto di quegli anni fu sempre convinto che chi possiede tutti i mezzi domina su tutti i fini e ricorreva spesso alla distinzione spenceriana fra il liberalismo della società industriale e l'autocrazia della società militare.
		Pareto darà a un grafico dove in ascissa figura il tempo e in ordinata figurano tre fenomeni distinti: quelli con crescita monotonica per i quali le previsioni sono abbastanza facili, quelli a carattere ondulatorio per i quali le previsioni sono molto difficili a causa dei punti di svolta, quelli del tutto accidentali e quindi imprevedibili.
		Pareto invita in sostanza a riflettere sul difficile ma legittimo scambio fra gli effetti nocivi diretti e immediati del protezionismo, che appartengono all'evidenza certa, e i suoi effetti positivi indiretti e lontani, che appartengono invece al regno delle probabilità nebulose.

	Pareto Optimality Paper
		Tracking Pareto optimality does not preclude such methods and it does not require an objective function that must compare ``apples and oranges'' in complex domains: it is a domain-independent function.
		The solution became Pareto suboptimal in both cases and this was the basis for the notifications.
		Pareto optimality is modeled by defining objectives as goals, the satisfaction of these objectives as assignments, and the connection between these satisfactions as constraints.

		For example, consider a (A form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.)) dictatorship run solely for the benefit of one person.
		This will, in general, be Pareto optimal because it will be impossible to raise the well-being of anyone except the dictator without reducing the well-being of the dictator, and vice versa.
		A strongly Pareto optimal (SPO) allocation is one such that is strictly preferred by one person, and no other allocation would be as good for everyone.

		In 1906, an Italian economist named Vilfredo Pareto made a discovery: Eighty percent of his country's accumulated wealth was owned by only twenty percent of the people.
		The real message of this rule is that there is a predictable imbalance in the world that affects all of our lives, and if we can just become aware of it we can then direct our efforts to greatly improve our chances of success.
