Draft:József Móczár

Joseph Móczár (Kiskunfélegyháza, March 30, 1946), doctor of economic sciences at HAS (2011), PhD at Osaka University (1994), full university professor (1994-2016), professor emeritus (2016-) of Corvinus University of Budapest.

Life path
He studied with outstanding results and obtained an excellent testimonium maturitatis at Petőfi Sándor Gimnasium in Kiskunfélegyháza. From 1964, he continued his studies at the Karl Marx University of Economics in Budapest (hereafter KMUES) in the five-year course in planning and mathematics, which followed the indicative design program at the Sorbonne. The curriculum included mathematics, electrical engineering, computing, logic, philosophy, and economics. After graduating outstandingly (twice with a People's Republic Scholarship), he worked as a teaching assistant at the Economic Planning Department of KMUES. He spent two years (1981-1983) at Osaka University's ISER as a postgraduate student with a Monbusho scholarship. In 1991, he worked at ISER as a visiting research professor. In 1994, he was appointed as a university professor after obtaining his PhD degree at the University of Osaka and his habilitation at Corvinus University of Budapest. He spent the academic year 1996/97 as a Fulbright visiting professor at USC in Los Angeles. With the support of the Széchenyi Professorial Scholarship, awarded for four years, he carried out intensive research. In 2011, he obtained his doctorate at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Since 2016, he has been an emeritus professor at CUB.

His Work
He focused on dynamic economics, including linear and non-linear dynamic economic models, cycles and turnpikes, non-equilibrium states, bifurcations, and complex dynamics (chaos). In 1991, he held a visiting research professorship in the ISER, where he began to study the economic issues of dis-equilibrium dynamics. Meanwhile, his research convinced him to study economics as a multidisciplinary discipline using physical, chemical, and biological processes. He follows energy and biological economics, where the economy is at the center of an evolutionary process in which technology, market prices and institutions, and people's preferences evolve along with people's behaviour.

From 1992, with a TEMPUS and G. Agnelli scholarship, he spent 2-3 months at the Universities of Siena, Venice Ca' Foscara, Groningen and Leuven. His Erdős index: 3. Editorial board member of the Public Finance Quarterly and the International Journal of Technology, Modeling and Management. His educational activities were recognized with the award "Excellent Teacher". Knowledge of foreign languages: Russian, English, and Japanese. His PhD students were Viktor Várpalotai in 2009 and Endre Morvai in 2015.
