Bernard Cornet

Bernard Cornet is the Oswald Distinguished Professor of Microeconomics at the University of Kansas, Department of Economics. His research focuses on microeconomic theory, financial economics, general equilibrium theory, dynamics, and optimization. He has contributed significantly to understanding hedging strategies, market frictions, arbitrage pricing, and nonlinear pricing rules in financial systems.

His work spans theoretical economics, including studies on Pareto optimality, submodular financial markets, and risk-neutral probability measures. He has also edited special issues in honor of prominent economists like Nicholas C. Yannelis and Charalambos D. Aliprantis, highlighting his role in advancing academic discourse. His publications reflect a deep engagement with mathematical rigor and real-world financial applications, particularly in incomplete markets and asymmetric information models.

Dr. Cornet’s research often bridges abstract economic theory with practical financial mechanisms, addressing topics such as utility maximization under constraints, equilibrium existence, and the implications of transaction costs. His work frequently appears in top journals, and he maintains an active presence in academic conferences and editorial roles.
