Abstract

The work of the economist and statistician Francis Ysidro Edgeworth has been
underrated, especially during the first thirty years after his death in 1926. Nevertheless,
in the last forty years, this work has deserved a growing recognition in both
fields. Yet, Edgeworth’s influence upon relevant authors, such as J.M. Keynes, Pareto,
Hicks or Pearson, has been usually biased or ignored. By unveiling the details of
these influences I hope that the reader will get a better understanding of Edgeworth’s
real academic stature.
