Eric Stark Maskin (born December 12, 1950) is an American economist and 2007 Nobel laureate recognized with Leonid Hurwicz and Roger Myerson "for having laid the foundations of mechanism design theory".[3] He is the Adams University Professor and Professor of Economics and Mathematics at Harvard University.
Until 2011, he was the Albert O. Hirschman Professor of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study, and a visiting lecturer with the rank of professor at Princeton University.[4]
Early life and education
Maskin was born in New York City on December 12, 1950, into a Jewish family, and spent his youth in Alpine, New Jersey. He graduated from Tenafly High School in Tenafly, New Jersey, in 1968.[5] In 1972, he graduated with A.B. in mathematics from Harvard College, the undergraduate liberal arts college of Harvard University. In 1974, he earned A.M. in applied mathematics and in 1976 earned a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, both at Harvard University. In 1975-76, he was a visiting student at Darwin College, Cambridge University.
Career and topics
In 1976, after earning his doctorate, Maskin became a research fellow at Jesus College, Cambridge University. In the following year, he joined the faculty at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1985 he returned to Harvard as the Louis Berkman Professor of Economics, where he remained until 2000. That year, he moved to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. In addition to his position at the Princeton Institute, Maskin is the director of the Jerusalem Summer School in Economic Theory at The Institute for Advanced Studies at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[6] In 2010, he was conferred an honorary doctoral degree in economics from The University of Cambodia.[7] In 2011, Maskin returned to Harvard as the Adams University Professor and professor of economics and mathematics.[8]
마스신은 게임 이론,인센티브의 경제학, 계약 이론 등 경제 이론의 다양한 분야에서 활동해 왔다. 그는 특히 메커니즘 설계/이행 이론과 역동적인 게임에 관한 논문으로 유명하다. 장 티롤과 함께 마르코프 완벽한 평형 개념을 발전시켰다. 그의 연구과제로는 선거규칙 비교, 불평등 원인 조사, 연정 구성 연구 등이 있다.
마스킨은 미국 예술과학원,[9] 계량학협회,[10] 유럽 경제협회의 펠로우로,[11] 영국 아카데미의 해당 펠로우다.[12] 2003년 계량학회의 회장을 지냈다.[13]
마스신은 2014년 나이지리아 코버넌트대 초빙교수로 위촉됐다.[14]
마스신은 2017년 9월 HEC 파리 호노리스 인과 교수 칭호를 받았다.[15][16] 2018년 인포시스상 사회과학 심사위원으로도 활동했다.
소프트웨어 특허
마스신은 소프트웨어 특허가 진보를 자극하기보다는 혁신을 억제한다고 제안했다. 소프트웨어, 반도체, 컴퓨터 산업은 역사적으로 취약한 특허 보호에도 불구하고 혁신적이었다고 그는 주장했다. 그러한 산업들의 혁신은 순차적이고 보완적이어서 경쟁은 기업의 미래 이익을 증가시킬 수 있다. 그러한 역동적인 산업에서, "특허 보호는 전반적인 혁신과 사회 복지를 감소시킬 수 있다". 마스신은 공동저자인 제임스 베센과 함께 "1980년대에 특허 보호가 소프트웨어로 확대되면서 자연적인 실험이 일어났다"고 썼다. "표준 주장은 특허 기업들 사이에서 연구개발 강도와 생산성이 높아졌어야 했다고 예상할 수 있다. 그러나 우리의 모델과 일관되게, 이러한 증가는 일어나지 않았다." 이 모델을 뒷받침하는 다른 증거는 교차 라이선싱의 독특한 패턴과 기술혁신 속도와 기업 진입률 사이의 긍정적인 관계를 포함한다.[17]
