Abstract

Des progrès spectaculaires ont été accomplis récemment dans la description scientifique du temps et du changement. Rompant avec le morne déterminisme classique, ces idées nouvelles modifient déjà notre pratique de la science et notre conception du savoir. Elles brouillent les frontières du calculable et de l'imprévisible, du déterminé et de l'aléatoire, de l'ordre et du désordre.

Abstract

Optimists believe this is the best of all possible worlds. And pessimists fear that might really be the case. But what 'is' the best of all possible worlds? How do we define it? Is it the world that operates the most efficiently? Or the one in which most people are comfortable and content? Questions such as these have preoccupied philosophers and theologians for ages, but there was a time, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when scientists and mathematicians felt they could provide the answer. This book is their story. Ivar Ekeland here takes the reader on a journey through scientific attempts to envision the best of all possible worlds. He begins with the French physicist Maupertuis, whose least action principle asserted that everything in nature occurs in the way that requires the least possible action. This idea, Ekeland shows, was a pivotal breakthrough in mathematics, because it was the first expression of the concept of 'optimization', or the creation of systems that are the most efficient or functional. Although the least action principle was later elaborated on and overshadowed by the theories of Leonhard Euler and Gottfried Leibniz, the concept of optimization that emerged from it is an important one that touches virtually every scientific discipline today. Tracing the profound impact of optimization and the unexpected ways in which it has influenced the study of mathematics, biology, economics, and even politics, Ekeland reveals throughout how the idea of optimization has driven some of our greatest intellectual breakthroughs. The result is a dazzling display of erudition& one that will be essential reading for popular-science buffs and historians of science alike.

Abstract

Probabilités, absence de certitudes, impossibilité de prévoir ce qu'il va advenir, théorie du chaos… De tout temps, le hasard accompagne l'homme et ne cesse de le fasciner. Mais qu'en pense réellement un grand mathématicien ? Cet essai en bande dessinée nous explique de façon simple et ludique le hasard et ses mystères ainsi que les stratégies qui peuvent nous aider à mieux appréhender les prévisions, la chance et les jeux de hasard !

Abstract

This paper considers the identification and estimation of hedonic models. We establish that in an additive version of the hedonic model, technology and preferences are generically identified up to affine transformations from data on demand and supply in a single hedonic market. For a very general parametric structure, preferences and technology are fully identified. This is true under a strong assumption of statistical independence of the error term. It is also true under the weaker assumption of mean independence of the error term. Much of the confusion in the empirical literature that claims that hedonic models estimated on data from a single market are fundamentally underidentified is based on linearizations that do not use all of the information in the model. The exact economic model that justifies widely used linear approximations has strange properties so the approximation is doubly poor. A semiparametric estimation method is proposed that is valid when a statistical independence assumption is valid. Alternatively, under the weaker condition of mean independence instrumental variables estimators can be applied to identify technology and preference parameters from a single market. They are justified by nonlinearities that are generic features of equilibrium in hedonic models.
