Information trouvée : Gerard Debreu, a former University of California-Berkeley economist who won a Nobel
Prize for breakthroughs in the study of supply and demand, died Friday in Paris, the
school said. He was 83. Debreu taught at UC-Berkeley for more than 30 years. He won
the 1983 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his theoretical work on how
prices operate to balance supply and demand. Born in the northern French coastal city
of Calais, Debreu stopped his mathematics studies to enlist in the French army after
U.S. forces swarmed into France in the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, the university
said. He resumed his studies after the war, increasingly focusing on economics, and
later took U.S. citizenship. Debreu also held posts at the University of Chicago,
Yale University and Stanford University.
