Biography
Prior to joining ESSEC Business School in January 1980, Albert Bemmaor was on the faculty of the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago. Over the past five decades, he has published regularly in top-tier journals, with a focus on mathematical models of consumer behavior, the adoption of technological innovations and market response models. His work has been applied and extended in a variety of areas, including the diffusion of social networks, physics (see the work by Chaula and Kaur 2018), geology (i.e., the prediction of natural resources - see the research by Guseo and colleagues at the University of Padua, Italy), economics (see, the description of noise in Di Tillio, Ottaviani, and Sorensen, Econometrica, 2021), medicine (see, e.g. Mennemeyer and colleagues, Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, Oxford U. Press, 2015 and Guseo Technological Forecasting and Social Change 2016) and hydraulics among others. His diffusion model, the gamma/shifted Gompertz (G/SG) model, at times called "Bemmaor's model", has turned into a classic model of diffusion about 20 years after its development and it has become a keyword. Up to now, the model has been adopted by Wolfram Language, the programming language of Mathematica, by SAS software, and immplemented in ExtraDistr and Diffusion, two packages in R library. The consumer behavior with attrition model, Gamma-Gompertz/NBD, is implemented in CLVTools, another package in the R library. His work has been used by companies such as Google (see Goerg and colleagues 2015) and Orange (see, e.g., Scaglione, Giovannetti and Hamoudia, International Journal of Forecasting, 2015). Albert Bemmaor teaches courses on the measurement of the marketing performance in the Master in Management Grande Ecole program, on product management in the undergraduate program(Bachelor in Business Administration) and on marketing models in the doctoral program. In 2000, he received a prize from the French Marketing Association (AFM) for his "Outstanding Contribution to Methodology". Since 2005, he has been a member of the Nomination Committee for the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences on a steady basis.
