The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for 2012 to

Alvin E. Roth
Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA, and Harvard Business School, Boston, MA, USA

and

Lloyd S. Shapley

"for the theory of stable allocations and the practice of market design".


Para quem não se lembra, o Alvin Roth é co-autor de um livro clássico de jogos com a Prof. Marilda Sotomayor (FEA-Usp) : "Two-Sided Matching: A Study in Game-Theoretic Modeling and Analysis".






Um prêmio técnico, mas de grande importância prática.
