Stephen Smale and the Economic Theory of General Equilibrium

Gerard Debreu

Chapter 14 in From Topology to Computation: Proceedings of the Smalefest, 1993, pp 131-146 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract During a 9-year time interval, Stephen Smale’s dominant research interest was the economic theory of general equilibrium. His bibliography for the period 1973–1981 contains 15 articles that addressed problems at the core of that theory or, in the case of two of them, that were directly motivated by those problems. The 11 other papers authored or co-authored by Smale during the same time interval dealt with topics ranging from a model of two cells to complexity theory. One of them was devoted to the game theoretical problem of the prisoner’s dilemma.
