Danish Neo-Walrasian economist at Copenhagen.

A native of Copenhagen, Karl Vind studied economics at the University of Copenhagen, where he came under the influence of Frederik Zeuthen, and subsequently stayed on as a lecturer in mathematics and statistics.  A Rockefeller fellowship to Berkeley in 1962 brought Vind into contact with Gerard Debreu, and modern Neo-Walrasian general equilibrium theory.  Karl Vind immediately made several important contributions to the "Edgeworthian revival" (e.g. 1964, 1965).

Karl Vind became full professor of economics at the University of Copenhagen in 1966, where he remained until his retirement in 2003..
