PowerPoint Presentation BIOGRAPHY 23.2 Abraham Wald Abraham Wald was born in Klausenburg, Hungary (which later became Cluj, Rumania). He was privately educated and self-taught (a consequence of complications arising from his family's Jewish orthodoxy). In the 1930s, he moved to Vienna, worked at the Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research, and, at the time of the Nazi annexation, accepted an invitation by the Cowles Commission to work in the United States. That move surely saved him from death in a gas chamber - a fate that befell all but one member of his numerous family. Eventually, Wald taught statistics at Columbia University (his students remember him as a superb teacher of unrivalled clarity and precision), but his career was cut short by an airplane crash during a lecture tour of India. Above all else, Wald's name will forever be linked with statistical decision theory and sequential analysis. In one of his earliest and finest papers, he introduced many fundamental concepts of decision theory, along with a mathematical structure for single-sample decision making that was sufficiently general to embrace estimation, hypothesis testing, and even the design of experiments. As he states in the Preface to his monumental Statistical Decision Functions (1950): "A major advance beyond previous results is the treatment of the design of experimentation as a part of the general decision problem." This tendency of Wald's and of later decision theorists to view all of statistics as a science of decision making under uncertainty (and to view the user of statistical data as someone in a decision-making situation who seeks to make the one of several possible decisions that has the best expected payoff) invoked the ire of Ronald Fisher (Biography 13.1). Fisher thought that decision theory was appropriate, perhaps, for industry but certainly not for scientific work in which inferences about the truth were to be made rather than optimal payoffs were to be achieved. Yet Wald's approach fit in nicely with the Neyman-Pearson theory of hypothesis testing (see Biographies 13.2 and 13.3).

It is well known that more recent existence theorems do not need this assumption. In order to clarify its role in Wald's proof, the question of existence of an equilibrium for a modified version of the Walras-Cassel model is reduced to the solvability of a related variational inequality problem. In general, the existence of a solution to such a problem can only be proved by advanced mathematical methods.

Web www.eumed.net Abraham Wald (1902 - 1950) Nació el 31 de octubre de 1902 en Cluj, Transilvania, entonces perteneciente a Hungría y actualmente llamado Cluj-Napoca y parte de Rumania desde el final de la I Guerra Mundial. Procedente de una familia de intelectuales judía, fue formado en la tradición walras iana y en la teoría neoclásica, aunque no fue economista. Sin embargo éste influyente matemático, que destacó particularmente en programación lineal, geometría y estadística, propuso varias aplicaciones matemáticas a la economía de cierta relevancia, llegando a ser colaborador de Oskar Morgenstern Por una parte, prestó especial atención a la Econometría, proponiendo modelos para suavizar la estacionalidad de las series temporales, y creando la hoy tan utilizada "prueba de Wald", que data de 1939. Pero además, aportó soluciones de unicidad a los modelos de equilibrio general competitivo walrasianos y los posteriores de Arrow y Debreu , así como para el modelo de duopolio al estilo de Cournot . No obstante, se centró en un modelo derivado del de Walras Cassel También son notables sus aportaciones a la toma de decisiones bajo incertidumbre, y propuso una función de preferencias reveladas, que dista mucho de semejarse a las consideradas hoy día.

EUGENE LUKACS Eugene Lukacs was born in Szombathely, Hungary on August 14, 1906. Six weeks after his birth, he was brought to Vienna where he grew up, got his primary and secondary education and studied mathematics at University of Vienna. He took courses with Hans Hahn, Eduard Helly, Walter Meyer, Leopold Vietoris and Wilhelm Wirtinger. Eugene met his wife to be, Elizabeth Weisz, at the University of Vienna in 1927. She was taking Mathematics and Physics. They were married in 1935. Eugene's interest in geometry led him to write a Ph.D. dissertation under Walter Meyer. He earned his Ph.D. degree in 1930. Subsequently he took an actuarial degree in 1931. Due to scarceness of positions at the University, Eugene taught secondary school in Vienna for two years. Then he accepted a position as an actuary at an insurance company. E. Helly and Z.W. Birnbaum were amongst his colleagues. He stayed with the company until 1937 and also taught extension courses in mathematics at the Volkshochschule Wien Volksheim. When Germany annexed Austria in 1938 he decided to emigrate to USA arriving here in February 1939. About the same time many other Jewish statisticians and mathematicians emigrated to the United States. These included Gerhard Tintner, Z.W. Birnbaum, Henry Mann, Oscar Morgenstern and Abraham Wald. Upon arrival, Eugene renewed his acquaintance with Abraham Wald whom he had met in Vienna. Under Wald's influence Eugene became interested in probability and statistics. Wald introduced him to the vast literature on probability and statistics that was largely unknown in Central Europe at that time. Wald invited him to attend his, and Hotelling's lectures at Columbia. Thus began Eugene's long and fruitful career in statistics during which he wrote five books and well over 100 papers.

Being a religious Jew, he could not attend school on Saturdays, as was required at the time by the Hungarian school system, and was thus home-schooled by his parents until college (to no disadvantage of his, as his parents were quite knowledgeable and competent as teachers). In , he entered graduate school at the University of Vienna, from which he graduated in with a Ph.D. in mathematics. His advisor there was Karl Menger When the Nazis invaded Austria in 1938, he and his family were persecuted as Jews. He was able to emigrate to the United States , at the invitation of the Cowles Commission for Research in Economics , to work on econometrics research.
