Abstract
The concern for the existence of solution to the Walras - Cassel model is usually dated at the beginning of the 1930s, and one decade later the proof of existence of utility function. Ugo Broggi, however, posed both issues in 1923 and 1919, respectively, and even hinted at modern ways of solving them. He was an outstanding mathematician, a former disciple of David Hilbert and collaborator with the Giornale degli Economisti. Broggi's achievements are also linked to a critical reading of Osorio's treatise on Paretian economics.
对瓦尔拉斯-卡塞尔模型解的存在性的关注通常可以追溯到20世纪30年代初,十年后效用函数的存在性证明。然而,乌戈·布罗吉(Ugo Broggi)分别在1923年和1919年提出了这两个问题,甚至暗示了解决它们的现代方法。他是一位杰出的数学家,曾是大卫·希尔伯特(David Hilbert)的弟子,也是《Giornale degli Economisti》的合作者。布罗吉的成就也与对奥索里奥关于家长经济学的论文的批判性阅读有关。
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought (EJHET), a peer-reviewed journal, has quickly established itself as a leading forum for lively discussion on a wide range of issues in the history of economic thought. With contributions from both established international scholars and younger academics, EJHET is entirely pluralist and non-partisan with regard to subjects and methodologies - it does not subscribe to any particular current of thought, nor relate to any one geographic zone. The Managing Editors and Editorial Board and Advisory Board members are drawn from throughout Europe and beyond, and are committed to encouraging scholars from around the world to contribute to international research and debate.
