William A. Brock (economist)

William A. Brock (economist)

William Allen "Buz" Brock is a mathematical economist, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, since 1975. He is known for his application of a branch of mathematics known as chaos theory to economic theory and econometrics. In 1998, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in the Economics Section. Although the origin of the nickname "Buz" is uncertain, repeated references to his days at Berkeley 'where the air was sweet and the music was fine' may yield some clue.
