During this year\u2019s University Day celebrations, we will award an honorary doctorate to Professor Eric Maskin<\/strong> \u2013 a distinguished American economist, professor of economics and mathematics at Harvard University, and winner of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (2007) for co-developing game theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate of the Wroc\u0142aw University of Economics has decided to honour Prof. Maskin with the highest honorary title for his \u201cfundamental contribution to the development of mechanism design theory and implementation theory<\/strong> \u2013 fields that enable the design of markets, regulations and public institutions in a way that allows social objectives to be achieved despite conflicting interests among participants and imperfect information\u201d. The monotonicity condition formulated by Prof. Maskin in 1977 is today one of the cornerstones of modern microeconomics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of supervisor in the proceedings for the award of the title was performed bythe Rector of the University of Economics in Wroc\u0142aw, Prof. Czes\u0142aw Zaj\u0105c<\/strong>. Reviews of the candidate\u2019s academic output were prepared by Prof. Marek Ko\u015bny<\/strong>, Vice-Rector for Research at the University of Economics in Wroc\u0142aw, and Prof. Marian Gorynia<\/strong>, of the University of Economics in Pozna\u0144. All reviews contained an unequivocal recommendation to award the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
