This collection of essays honors David Cass on the 30th anniversary of his joining the faculty of the Department of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. Cass’s work has spawned a number of important lines of research in Economics, including the study of dynamic general equilibrium, the concept of sunspot equilibria, and general equilibrium theory when markets are incomplete. These essays, by his students and co-authors, celebrate his work and his influence on the profession.
