Robert Solow (1924-2023) with fellowship winners.

The Cournot Centre and Foundation invited in 2019 Charles Tapiero of New York University, a renowned mathematician, known most notably for his work in financial engineering and his contributions to fractional finance.

The Cournot Foundation invited during the 2018–2019 academic year, George Papanicolaou from Stanford University, an eminent mathematician known for his research in applied mathematics and stochastic processes. His research has been widely used in economics and finance, and more generally in data analysis.

During the 2017–18 academic year, the Cournot Centre and Foundation financed an original research programme on volatility led by senior researcher Knut Sølna.
Knut Sølna’s main research interest involves problems with multiscale structure and uncertainty. During his Senior Research Fellowship year in France, he worked on several problems that concern modelling in terms of dynamic systems driven by multiscale processes, with particular focus on inefficient markets. He studied the detection of inefficiency through data analysis, as well as descriptions that gave a consistent mathematical characterization of such markets, focusing particularly on markets with a turbulent character. Prices, for example, have a complex statistical structure of a kind also seen in complex turbulent physical systems. He also considered to what extent regime changes and such market behaviour can be understood in terms of endogenous development and/or institutional changes.

The Cournot Foundation awarded up to five Robert Solow Postdoctoral Fellowships each academic year from 2003/2004 to 2016/2017 to researchers of all nationalities.
The Cournot Centre’s Scientific Team chaired by Robert Solow selected the postdoctoral fellows based on their applications.
