   In addition to what has already been indicated, useful information can be found in the
following books and articles that enlighten the way engineers contributed to the rise and
the development of mathematical economics, economic modeling and econometrics (19th and
20th centuries), especially in France. Unfortunately, as Loic Charles remarked in a
previous mail, some of them are not translated yet:
