Roger Myerson is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Nobel laureate (2007) for foundational work on mechanism design and game theory
Myerson helped build the theory of mechanism design, which asks how to structure rules, auctions and institutions so that self-interested participants produce good collective outcomes even when information is private. His revelation principle and related analysis became standard tools in economics, earning a share of the 2007 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. He was born to a Jewish American family.
