About

was a monetary economist, serving as Professor at the University of Illinois until 2016.
He is known for his early
contributions to
option pricing theory.
A revision of his doctoral thesis, since widely cited,
was published in 1961:
Here, Sprenkle "developed the first modern model of option pricing and was used as the foundation of the equilibrium pricing model developed by Black and Scholes".
