Timeline
Eric Stark Maskin (born December 12, 1950) is an American economist and mathematician.
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.
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.
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.
A natural experiment occurred in the 1980s when patent protection was extended to software", wrote Maskin with co-author James Bessen. "Standard arguments would predict that R&D intensity and productivity should have increased among patenting firms.
Consistent with our model, however, these increases did not occur". Other evidence supporting this model includes a distinctive pattern of cross-licensing and a positive relationship between rates of innovation and firm entry.
In 1985 he returned to Harvard as the Louis Berkman Professor of Economics, where he remained until 2000.
In 1987, he was a visiting fellow at St John's College, Cambridge.
In 2000, 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.
He was president of the Econometric Society in 2003.
He was jointly awarded the 2007 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with Leonid Hurwicz and Roger Myerson "for having laid the foundations of mechanism design theory".
He is the Adams University Professor and Professor of Economics and Mathematics at Harvard University.
In 2010, he was conferred an honorary doctoral degree in economics from The University of Cambodia.
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.
In 2011, Maskin returned to Harvard as the Adams University Professor and professor of economics and mathematics.
Maskin has worked in diverse areas of economic theory, such as game theory, the economics of incentives, and contract theory.
He is particularly known for his papers on mechanism design/implementation theory and dynamic games.
With Jean Tirole, he advanced the concept of Markov perfect equilibrium.
His research projects include comparing different electoral rules, examining the causes of inequality, and studying coalition formation.
Maskin is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Econometric Society, and the European Economic Association, and a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy.
In 2014, Maskin was appointed as a visiting professor at Covenant University, Nigeria.
In September 2017, Maskin received the title of HEC Paris Honoris Causa Professor.
He also served on the Social Sciences jury for the Infosys Prize in 2018.
Furthermore, he is the chairman of the advisory board of the International Economics Olympiad.
Along with Ned Foley, he has proposed the use of Baldwin's voting method, under the name "Total Vote Runoff", as a way to fix problems with the instant-runoff method ("Ranked Choice Voting") in U.S. jurisdictions that use it, ensuring majority support of the winner and electing more broadly-acceptable candidates.
Maskin suggested that software patents inhibit innovation rather than stimulate progress.
Software, semiconductor, and computer industries have been innovative despite historically weak patent protection, he argued.
Innovation in those industries has been sequential and complementary, so competition can increase firms' future profits.
In such a dynamic industry, "patent protection may reduce overall innovation and social welfare".
