TLDR
Recent statistical techniques, including nonlinear programming, have been added to a basic survey of equilibrium systems, comparative statistics, consumer behavior theory, and cost and production theory as discussed by the authors, and they have been used in a variety of applications.Abstract:

Economic Action and Social Structure: The Problem of Embeddedness
TL;DR: In this article, the extent to which economic action is embedded in structures of social relations, in modern industrial society, is examined, and it is argued that reformist economists who attempt to bring social structure back in do so in the "oversocialized" way criticized by Dennis Wrong.

Simple mathematical models with very complicated dynamics
Robert M. May,Robert M. May +1 more
TL;DR: This is an interpretive review of first-order difference equations, which can exhibit a surprising array of dynamical behaviour, from stable points, to a bifurcating hierarchy of stable cycles, to apparently random fluctuations.

Existence of an equilibrium for a competitive economy
Kenneth J. Arrow,Gerard Debreu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simplification of the structure of the proofs has been made possible through use of the concept of an abstract economy, a generalization of that of a game, and proofs of the existence of an equilibrium are given for an integrated model of production, exchange and consumption.

Economic Action and Social Structure: the Problem of Embeddedness
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with the problem of embeddedness of economic behavior in the social relations and analyze over and half-socialized concepts of human action in sociology and in economics.

Theory of cost and production functions
TL;DR: In this article, a unified treatment of cost and production functions underlie the economic theory of production is presented, and the duality between cost function and production function is developed by introducing a cost correspondence, showing that these two functions are given in terms of each other by dual minimum problems.
