"I do not consider myself involved in economic policy in any way," he says. Nevertheless, his work does have some practical applications in the hands of other economists. According to Stanford Economist Kenneth Arrow, a 1972 Nobel winner who has worked closely with Debreu, equilibrium theory is used by private forecasters and government planners to predict such things as the impact of a tax change on various industries...
