First edition of this collection of essays by ten leading economists survey Paul Samuelson's extensive achievements to modern economics. Octavo, original boards. Edited by E. Cary Brown and Robert M. Solow. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Essays by Paul A. Samuelson, Kenneth J. Arrow, F.H. Hahn. Hendrik S. Houthakker, Ronald W. Jones, Robert C. Merton, Richard A. Musgrave, Don Patinkin, Robert M. Solow, James Tobin and C.C. von Weizsacker. Paul Samuelson is one of the developers of both neo-Keynesian and neoclassical economics, the latter of which still dominates mainstream economics. He was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for having written considerable parts of economic theory, and he is one of the ten Nobel Prize winning economists still signing the Economist's statement opposing the Bush tax cuts. One of Samuelson's many novel contributions was that he generalized and applied mathematical methods developed for the study of thermodynamics to the field of economics. His inspiration for doing so came, in part, from his mentor, polymath Edwin Bisdwell Wilson who was a former Yale student of the founder of chemical thermodynamics, Willard Gibbs. Samuelson, therefore, is a successful example of interdisciplinarity, and he combined these ideas in his magnum opus Foundations of Economic Analysis (1947).

Hardcover. Condition: very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. First edition. The Nobel Laureate's writings included in the first four volumes. They document the long and distinguished career of one of America's most important economists and encompass more than 280 articles. The first two contain virtually all of Samuelson's contributions to economic theory through mid-1964; Volume 3 contains all the scientific papers written from mid-1964 through 1970; Volume 4 consists of 86 articles, all the scientific contributions of Samuelson from mid-1971 through 1976. These four volumes belonged to professor Mark Schupack (each volume bares his bookplate on the pastedown). Schupack was a student of Samuelson at MIT who went on to teach economics at Brown University. During his career at Brown, Schupack was chair of the economics department, associate provost, dean of the graduate school, and vice provost. A few pages with marginalia by the professor. Volume one has a chip to the top spine of the dust-jacket and a closed tear along the front flap fold. Volume 3 with sunning to the spine. All volumes have minor edge-wear. 6½" - 9½". book.

First edition of Merton's landmark work, which introduced the concepts of continuous-time optimization, inscribed by Merton to fellow Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow. Octavo, original cloth. Foreword by Paul A. Samuelson. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the title page to fellow Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow. Additionally signed by Paul A. Samuelson at his contribution. Kenneth Arrow's signature to the front free endpaper, fine in a near fine dust jacket. From the library of Kenneth Arrow. Robert C. Merton is known for his pioneering contributions to continuous-time finance, especially the first continuous-time option pricing model, the Blackâ"Scholes formula. The Blackâ"Scholesâ"Merton model is a mathematical model of a financial market containing derivative investment instruments. From the model, one can deduce the Blackâ"Scholes formula, which gives a theoretical estimate of the price of European-style options. The formula led to a boom in options trading and provided mathematical legitimacy to the activities of the Chicago Board Options Exchange and other options markets around the world. lt is widely used, although often with adjustments and corrections, by options market participants. Many empirical tests have shown that the Blackâ"Scholes price is "fairly close" to the observed prices, although there are well-known discrepancies such as the "option smile". Based on works previously developed by market researchers and practitioners, such as Louis Bachelier, Sheen Kassouf and Ed Thorp among others, Fischer Black and Myron Scholes came to the formula in the late 1960s. In 1970, after they attempted to apply the formula to the markets and incurred financial losses due to lack of risk management in their trades, they decided to focus in their domain area, the academic environment.[6] After three years of efforts, the formula named in honor of them for making it public, was finally published in 1973 in an article entitled "The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities", in the Journal of Political Economy. Robert C. Merton was the first to publish a paper expanding the mathematical understanding of the options pricing model, and coined the term "Blackâ"Scholes options pricing model". Merton and Scholes received the 1997 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for their work.

First edition, early printing of Volume I of the Nobel Prize-winning economists papers. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by the author on the title page,ÂÂ"For Doug Burrows, Paul A. Samuelson, Endicott House, June 21, 1972." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. "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." In fact, Samuelson's output, his "extraordinary mastery of methods, both mathematical and linguistic" (review of Volume 4 of "The Collected Scientific Papers"), have not diminished. Volumes 1 through 4 encompass more than 280 articles. The first two contain virtually all of Samuelson's contributions to economic theory through mid-1964; Volume 3 contains all the scientific papers written from mid-1964 through 1970, and the last volume brings his work up to through 1976.
