斯卡夫： 犹太人， 出身贫寒。 早年读不起名牌大学。

在1967年在经济均衡的不动点算法领域做出重大突破。

Herbert Eli Scarf (born on July 25, 1930 in Philadelphia, PA) is a distinguished American economist and Sterling Professor (Emeritus as of 2010) of Economics at Yale University. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. He served as the president of the Econometric Society in 1983. He received both the Frederick Lanchester Award in 1973 and the John von Neumann Medal in 1983 from the Operations Research Society of America and was elected as a Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association in 1991.

Scarf never received formal training in economics. Both his undergraduate training at Temple University and his graduate work at Princeton University were in mathematics. For the past five decades, however, he has worked at the frontiers of both economic theory and operations research and has made a number of extraordinarily significant contributions to both of these fields. He is internationally famous for his early epoch-making work on optimal inventory policies and his highly influential study with Andrew Clark on optimal policies for a multi-echelon inventory problem, which initiated the important and flourishing field of supply chain management. Equally, he has gained world recognition for his classic study on the stability of the Walrasian price adjustment processes, his fundamental analysis (with Gerard Debreu) on the relation between the core and the set of competitive equilibria (the so-called Edgeworth conjecture, named after the Irish economist, Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, Feb 8, 1845-Feb 13, 1926), his remarkable sufficient condition (i.e., balancedness) for the existence of a core in non-transferable utility games and general exchange economies, his seminal paper with Lloyd Shapley on housing markets, and his pioneering study on increasing returns and models of production in the presence of indivisibilities. All in all, however, the name of Scarf is always remembered as a synonym for the computation of economic equilibria and fixed points. In the early 1960s he invented a path-breaking technique for computing equilibrium prices. This method is nowadays known as Scarf’s algorithm and has made general equilibrium theory applicable to large, realistic economic problems. This work has generated a major research field in economics termed Applied General Equilibrium Analysis and a corresponding area in operations research known as Simplicial Fixed Point Methods (or Algorithms). Scarf’s algorithm and its subsequent refinements and alternatives have become practical tools for assessing the consequences for the entire economy of a change in the economic environment or a major change in economic policy – to engage in comparative statics when the model of equilibrium is too large to be solved graphically or by simple numerical calculations.

大牛人

好像是说我啊，我是屌丝大学毕业的，专业是。。。。。。，好像是，道德教育吧。

兴趣与爱好相结合，成为我们学习对的动力。

在1967年在经济均衡的不动点算法领域做出重大突破-------这个好象是数学，或者数学应用到经济学当中解答应用题。也就是说，好象不归经济学了。


没受过经济学的学生的学者的训练，成为真正的学者，这不希奇。
牛顿就没有受过正规专业的物理学训练，所以他搞了正规专业物理学。
爱因四坦也没有受过现代物理学的专业训练。

马克思是搞政治的，学得是法律，但他是最伟大的经济学家。

可见，搞经济学不在于训练，在于爱搞。


搞经济学训练，却训练不出来什么，可见不是真的训练。

训练不出来，可见不是真的爱搞经济学。



可见，根本关键是在于爱搞。不在于训练。不在于专业。

绝大多数人都是随波逐流，人云亦云，刻舟求剑，买珠还椟，都是叶公好龙分子，所以搞不出学术。

为什么几十年的正规的专业的学习和训练，还是流动书摊呢？
因为从一开始，从起点上，就大错特错了。错在根本，基础，则几十年之后仍旧错，一直错，错上加错，一错再错，大错特错。
出不了成果，出不了人才。

什么叫学术？
为什么要搞学术？
真的爱搞学术？
