Rinne[edit]

Does the quotation attributed to Rinne refer to German prof. Horst Rinne? Or to who? Where can I find a reference to this? jni 09:33, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Oops, yes. It refers to Horst Rinne, professor of business administrtion (em.) at Gießen. I'll add two or three pieces about Laspeyres and reference the quote properly. Clossius 09:06, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Origin of name and pronounciation[edit]

Etienne Laspeyres is of French origin, more precisely Gascon origine (Southwestern France) and this explains his name from the occitan "Laspeiras" ("the stones"). His ancestors migrated in the last 17th century after the "Revocation de l'Edit de Nantes" and the following Hugueont's espace from France. Since Gascon and Portuguese share some similarities, there was a confusion. Please take car in the future and do not only translate directly other language's pages.

I have corrected the pronounciation based on Laspeyres-Paasche Index article, because lasˈpaːʃɛ would be "laspaasche", and the previous anonimous editor above my comment seems to verify my concept, but please confirm it! Drkazmer ^{Just tell me...} 14:48, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
