2007年诺贝尔经济学奖获得者Eric S. Maskin:机制设计理论导论
An Introduction to Mechanism Design — 大师讲坛第151期

埃里克·马斯金(Eric S. Maskin)现为哈佛大学Adams全校级教授,在机制设计、博弈论、合同理论等经济理论领域有着高深的造诣。马斯金教授于1976年获得哈佛大学应用数学博士学位,1977-1984年任教于麻省理工学院,1985-2000年任哈佛大学教授,2000-2011年任普林斯顿高等研究院(IAS)讲席教授,2012年起重回哈佛大学任教至今。马斯金教授于2003年出任世界计量经济学会(Econometric Society)会长,2007年因奠定了机制设计理论的基础而获得诺贝尔经济学奖。马斯金教授是美国艺术与科学院院士、世界计量经济学会院士、欧洲经济学会院士以及英国国家学术院(British Academy)通讯院士。

Eric Maskin is the Adams University Professor and Professor of Economics and Mathematics at Harvard. He has made contributions to game theory, contract theory, social choice theory, political economy, and other areas of economics. He received his A.B. and Ph.D from Harvard and was a postdoctoral fellow at Jesus College, Cambridge University. He was a faculty member at MIT from 1977-1984, Harvard from 1985- 2000, and the Institute for Advanced Study from 2000-2011. He rejoined the Harvard faculty in 2012. In 2007, he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics (with L. Hurwicz and R. Myerson) for laying the foundations of mechanism design theory.

在本次演讲中,马斯金教授将分享他获得2007年诺贝尔经济学奖的研究成果——机制设计理论。这一研究主要讨论的是:给定一个经济或社会目标,我们应当如何设计一个程序或制度(即机制)来实现该目标。本次演讲将介绍机制设计理论的一些基本特点及其与传统微观经济学的差异,然后通过如何进行公平分配、如何分配频段执照以及如何选择公共能源等几个例子对这一理论进行介绍,并讨论是否存在一般性的方法,能够确定给定目标能否实现和能否设计可实施的机制,最终引出马斯金教授在1977年的论文《纳什均衡与福利最优》中所证明的纳什均衡实施的充分和必要条件——“马斯金对策

Professor Maskin will share his research results of the 2007 Nobel Prize in Economics, the mechanism design theory. It mainly discussed how to design a program or system (i.e. mechanism) to achieve an economic or social goal. Professor Maskin will introduce some basic features of the mechanism design theory and the differences from traditional microeconomics. Then several examples will be given on how to make a fair allocation, how to allocate band licenses and how to choose public energy. Questions arise include if there is a general way of determining whether or not a given goal is implementable and if we can find a mechanism to implement it. This leads to the sufficient and necessary conditions for the implementation of the Nash equilibrium, "Maskin's countermeasure", proved by Professor Maskin in the 1977 paper "Nash Equilibrium and Welfare Optimization".
