Positive Operators, Riesz Spaces, and Economics: Proceedings (Studies in Economic Theory)

The volume contains the proceedings of a conference in mathematical economics held at the California Institute of Technology, April 16-20, 1990. The theme of the conference was to explore the functional analytic techniques (and in particular the theory of Riesz spaces and positive operators) that are employed in economics. The articles in the book depict this important connection and open the way for more economic applications.
