Abstract

Cournot was a French mathematician, philosopher and economist, said to be one of the most important predecessors of neoclassical economic theory. He belongs among the pioneers in econometrics and mathematical economics. He is also highlighted for creation of market prices, the demand function and the basis for marginalist firm theory. He was unacknowledged in his lifetime.
