Summary
Bernard Schmitt (1929 in Colmar, France – 2014 in Beaune, France) was a French economist, founder of the school of economic thought known as 'quantum macroeconomics'.[1]
During his doctoral research (Paris, 1958) he studied at the University of Cambridge (UK), under the supervision of Piero Sraffa and Dennis Robertson. In 1954, he became a member of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), in Paris. His works on macroeconomic theory and monetary analysis were awarded two medals by the CNRS, in 1961 and in 1973.[2]
He was professor in monetary macroeconomics at the University of Dijon, France, and at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.
