MERTON, ROBERT C. [KENNETH ARROW].
The Review of Economics and Statistics: Lifetime Portfolio Selection Under Uncertainty.
Cambridge: Harvard University Press 1969.
Volume LI of Harvard University’s Review of Economics and Statistics containing Robert Merton’s Lifetime Portfolio Selection Under Uncertainty: The Continuous-Time Case, which introduced the concepts of continuous-time optimization later featured in his landmark work Continuous-Time Finance. Quarto, bound in full morocco with gilt titles and ruling to the spine in six compartments within raised bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panel, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers. Association copy, inscribed twice by Robert C. Merton to fellow economist Kenneth J, Arrow on the table of contents page referencing his work, “For Ken, Robert Merton February 26, 2010” and on the introductory page of ‘Lifetime Portfolio Selection Under Uncertainty’ [p. 247], “For Ken, Robert Merton February 26, 2010.” The recipient, American economist Kenneth J. Arrow was the joint winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with John Hicks in 1972. In economics, he was a major figure in post-World War II neo-classical economic theory. Many of his former graduate students have gone on to win the Nobel Memorial Prize themselves. His most significant works are his contributions to social choice theory, notably “Arrow’s impossibility theorem”, and his work on general equilibrium analysis. He has also provided foundational work in many other areas of economics, including endogenous growth theory and the economics of information. In fine condition. An exceptional association copy linking two Nobel Prize-winning economists.
