Book Description
It is a measure of Professor Samuelson's preeminence that the sheer scale of his work should be so much taken for granted, observes a reviewer in the Economist who goes on to note that a cynic might add that it would have been better for Professor Samuelson to write less merely to give others a chance to write at all. When Professor Samuelson was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in economics, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in its citation that he "has done more than any other contemporary economist to raise the level of scientific analysis in economic theory... {Samuelson's] extensive production, covering nearly all areas of economic theory, is characterized by an outstanding ability to derive important new theorems, and to find new applications for existing ones." In 1966, The MIT Press published the first two volumes of The Collected Scientific Papers of Paul A. Samuelson, edited by joseph E. Stiglitz. These books contain virtually all of Professor Samuelson's contributions to economic theory through mid-1964 - a total of 129 papers collected from economic journals and books on current problems and including his classic articles on such topics as revealed preference, factor price equalization, and public goods, as well as articles that were privately circulated or buried in Festschriften, such as "Market Maximization" and "The Structure of Minimal Equilibrium Systems." Volume 3 contains 77 articles covering the period from mid-1964 to October 1971. Chapters are arranged in the manner of Volumes 1 and 2 - according to subject matter rather than chronologically and under the 18 section titles indicated by Stiglitz, plus an additional one. Characteristically, Professor Samuelson has moved on to an entirely new area - that of portfolio selection and warrant pricing theory, which includes the following articles: "Proof that Properly Anticipated Prices Fluctuate Randomly" - "Rational Theory of Warrant Pricing that Maximizes Utility" - "General Proof that Diversification Pays" - "Efficient Portfolio Selection for Pareto-Levy Investments" - "The Fundamental Approximation Theorem of Portfolio Analysis in Terms of Means, Variances, and Higher Moments" - "Lifetime Portfolio Selection by Dynamic Stochastic Programming" - "Stochastic Speculative Price" - "The 'Fallacy' of Maximizing the Geometric Mean in Long Sequences of Investing and Gambling"

Book Description
The Hamiltonian Approach to Dynamic Economics focuses on the application of the Hamiltonian approach to dynamic economics and attempts to provide some unification of the theory of heterogeneous capital. Emphasis is placed on the stability of long-run steady-state equilibrium in models of heterogeneous capital accumulation. Generalizations of the Samuelson-Scheinkman approach are also given. Moreover, conditions are sought on the geometry of the Hamiltonian function (that is, on static technology) that suffice to preserve under (not necessarily small) perturbation the basic properties of the Hamiltonian dynamical system. Comprised of eight essays, this book begins with an introduction to Hamiltonian dynamics in economics, followed by a discussion on optimal steady states of n-sector growth models when utility is discounted. Optimal growth and decentralized or descriptive growth models in both continuous and discrete time are treated as applications of Hamiltonian dynamics. Theproblem of optimal growth with zero discounting is considered, with emphasis on a steepness condition on the Hamiltonian function. The general problem of decentralized growth with instantaneously adjusted expectations about price changes is also analyzed, along with the global asymptotic stability of optimal control systems with applications to the theory of economic growth. This monograph will be of value to mathematicians and economists.

Book Description
"The setting is claustrophobic, the characters are complex and the story will keep readers on the edge of their seats," KLIATT raved of this vivid, fast-paced psychological thriller in a starred review.

Book Description
An “illuminating” study that reveals the different ways social change occurs—for readers of Freakonomics and Thinking, Fast and Slow (The New York Times) How does social change happen? When do social movements take off? Sexual harassment was once something that women had to endure; now a movement has risen up against it. White nationalist sentiments, on the other hand, were largely kept out of mainstream discourse; now there is no shortage of media outlets for them. In this book, with the help of behavioral economics, psychology, and other fields, Cass Sunstein casts a bright new light on how change happens. Sunstein focuses on the crucial role of social norms—and on their frequent collapse. When norms lead people to silence themselves, even an unpopular status quo can persist. Then one day, someone challenges the norm—a child who exclaims that the emperor has no clothes; a woman who says “me too.” Sometimes suppressed outrage is unleashed, and long-standing practices fall. Sometimes change is more gradual, as “nudges” help produce new and different decisions—apps that count calories; texted reminders of deadlines; automatic enrollment in green energy or pension plans. Sunstein explores what kinds of nudges are effective and shows why nudges sometimes give way to bans and mandates. Finally, he considers social divisions, social cascades, and “partyism,” when identification with a political party creates a strong bias against all members of an opposing party—which can both fuel and block social change.
