Talk:Institute for Advanced Studies (Vienna)

I placed this article, because Hashem Pesaran attended it, and it was founded by Oskar Morgenstern, father of game theory. It will be expanded. These speedy deletions are annoying.

International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, maybe?[edit]
I don't know anything about any "Institute for Advanced Studies."
There was, and is, an Internation Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, address: Schloss Laxenberg, Vienna, Austria.
Anatol Rapoport was co-Director of it, with Roger Levien on loan from RAND, during the late 1960s -- not the 1980s, as the article suggests.
The Institute carried on a variety of interesting interactions with the Soviet Union during those years.
More recently it has drifted into, um, applied systems analysis, of which a typical example might be its project to increase the inventory of "above ground lumber," i.e. trees, by a hundred billion tons in the next hundred years.
The Institute has a Wiki page I see, and its web page is http://www.iiasa.ac.at/
