The Whole Is More Than the Sum of Its Parts— Or Is It? A Review of the Empirical Literature on Complementarities in Organizations (2010, background): “Complementarity was introduced into economics by Edgeworth (1881). In economic terminology, complementarities exist when the mixed-partial derivatives of a pay-off function are positive: marginal returns from one variable increase in the level of the other variables (Milgrom & Roberts, 1994).”
On the Evolutionary Optimization of Many Conflicting Objectives (2007, background): “If the only assumption concerning decisionmaker (DM) preferences is that a unidirectional line of preference [4] exists for each objective then performance comparisons between solutions can be based on the notion of Pareto dominance.”
A combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) method for multi-criteria decision-making problems (2019, methodology): “The first references to multiple-criteria methods were already mentioned in 1772, 1785, 1881, 1896 by Franklin (1772), De Condorcet (1785), Edgeworth (1881), and Pareto (1986, 1906), respectively.”
Models and fiction (2009, background): “The third is what is now called the ‘Edgeworth Box’ (Edgeworth 1881); see Morgan (2004) for a discussion.”
Kinship, Incentives, and Evolution (2010, background): “Edgeworth (1881) and Becker (1974), have theorized that altruism exists.”
Happiness and public choice (2010, background): “Maximizing social welfare as the ultimate goal of economic policy dates back to Bentham (1789) and later to Edgeworth (1881), and was introduced into modern economics by Tinbergen (1956) and Theil (1964).”
