Re: Kurt W. Rothschild lecture 2001
Dear Professor Malinvaud.
It was with great pleasure that I read your letter indicating your willingness to deliver the next
Kurt W. Rothschild lecture. Your acceptance has been met with great enthusiasm among the
economics faculty!
As for the date, November 2001 is perfectly acceptable. We have established somewhat of a
“Thursday-tradition”, so could you possibly agree to Thursday, Nov. 22? Of course, any other
day of this or the following week could also be arranged.
Concerning the format, the lecture usually starts around 18 o’clock, which means you could
either arrive on the day of the lecture or the day before. In any case you should plan on not
leaving before the following day, since there will be a reception, including a buffet, following
your lecture. In case you arrive early enough, the economics faculty would be pleased to meet
you for lunch on the day of the lecture.
Your suggestion to speak on the methodology of economics would not only be very
appropriate with respect to Professor Rothschild’s contributions but will most certainly be
welcomed by the faculty and should also meet with the interest of the general audience. But
please feel free to decide on the topic of your presentation at your own discretion.
[ shall take care that an updated list of Kurt Rothschild’s publications will reach you within a
short time.
Let me offer in advance my gratitude for your gracious acceptance of our invitation. I very
much look forward to meeting you in Linz and remain
yours truly,
