Lopez de Penalver's Reflexiones: an economic and mathematical approach

Ernest Lluch

The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2001, vol. 8, issue 2, 130-145

Abstract: Juan Lopez de Penalver was an engineer and mathematician who trained in Spain, Central Europe and Paris. His Reflexiones sobre la variacion del precio del trigo (1812) contained three models of: (1) wages, wheat prices and mortality; (2) transport costs and location; and (3) constant relative prices, which were brought to an international readership in 1961. His complete works were published in 1992. An advocate of political arithmetic and mathematical economics, he was influenced by Canard, Condorcet and Steuart and the economic writings of Lavoisier and Lagrange; a considerable distance separated him from both Adam Smith and J.-B. Say.
