Leonid Hurwicz (1917-2008) was a major figure in modern theoretical
economics whose contributions over sixty-five years spanned at
least five areas: econometrics, nonlinear programming, decision
theory, microeconomic theory, and mechanism design. In 2007, at age
ninety, he received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics (shared
with Eric Maskin and Roger Myerson) for pioneering the field of
mechanism design and incentive compatibility. Hurwicz made seminal
contributions in the other areas as well. In non-linear
programming, he contributed to the understanding of
Lagrange-Kuhn-Tucker problems (along with co-authors Kenneth
Arrowand Hirofumi Uzawa). In econometrics, the Hurwicz bias in the
least-squares analysis of time series is a fundamental and commonly
cited benchmark. In decision theory, the Hurwicz criterion for
decision-making under ambiguity is routinely invoked, sometimes
without a citation since his original paper was never published. In
microeconomic theory, Hurwicz (along with Arrow and H.D. Block)
initiated the study of stability of the market mechanism, and (with
Uzawa) solved the classic integrability of demand problem, a core
result in neoclassical consumer theory. While some of Hurwicz's
work were published in journals, many remain scattered as chapters
in books which are difficult to access; yet others were never
published at all. The Collected Papers of Leonid Hurwicz is the
first volume in a series of four that will bring his oeuvre in one
place, to bring to light the totality of his intellectual output,
to document his contribution to economics and the extent of his
legacy, with the express purpose to make it easily available for
future generations of researchers to build upon.
