David Kreps is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Game theorist of reputation and dynamic choice; Clark Medal (1989), Nemmers Prize (2018)
Kreps is an economist and game theorist at Stanford whose work reshaped how economists model reputation, dynamic choice and behaviour under uncertainty; the Kreps–Wilson theory of reputation and his refinements of equilibrium became standard tools in economics. He won the 1989 John Bates Clark Medal and the 2018 Nemmers Prize in Economics. He was born in New York City; his published biographies do not detail a Jewish background, though he is listed in specialist indexes of Jewish laureates.
