Review

From the reviews:

"It is ... a special kind of collection, ‘Essays in Honour’ – or festchrifts as some like to call them. Here the unifying idea is not a special topic but a person and his academic life. Interesting and productive lifes, such as Claus Weddepohl’s, make it easier to produce a simulating book and the editors did not miss the opportunity. ... I found reading this book a fruitful experience and I recommend it especially to younger colleagues." (Alfredo Medio, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Vol. 58, 2005)
