F.Y. Edgeworth, Writings in Probability, Statistics, and Economics
Author: Francis Ysidro EdgeworthPublisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Econometrics
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
A compilation of Edgeworth's published articles in probability theory and mathematical statistics, highlighting the evolution of the economist's theories beginning in 1925. Credited with being the nominal inventor of the Edgeworth Box diagram and the contract curve, this three volume set shows to an advantage his work in probability, the law of error, and the applications of probability and statistical theory to economics and the social sciences. The articles are presented as "photocopies" of the originals, including accompanying illustrations. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Handbook on the History of Economic Analysis Volume I

Book Description
Volume I contains original biographical profiles of many of the most important and influential economists from the seventeenth century to the present day. These inform the reader about their lives, works and impact on the further development of the discipline.

Probability and Social Science
Author: Daniel CourgeauPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400728786
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
This work examines in depth the methodological relationships that probability and statistics have maintained with the social sciences from their emergence. It covers both the history of thought and current methods. First it examines in detail the history of the different paradigms and axioms for probability, from their emergence in the seventeenth century up to the most recent developments of the three major concepts: objective, subjective and logicist probability. It shows the statistical inference they permit, different applications to social sciences and the main problems they encounter. On the other side, from social sciences—particularly population sciences—to probability, it shows the different uses they made of probabilistic concepts during their history, from the seventeenth century, according to their paradigms: cross-sectional, longitudinal, hierarchical, contextual and multilevel approaches. While the ties may have seemed loose at times, they have more often been very close: some advances in probability were driven by the search for answers to questions raised by the social sciences; conversely, the latter have made progress thanks to advances in probability. This dual approach sheds new light on the historical development of the social sciences and probability, and on the enduring relevance of their links. It permits also to solve a number of methodological problems encountered all along their history.
