| RESEARCH INTERESTS: | Micro-economic theory, game theory, social choice theory, distributive justice. Hervé Moulin's current research explores mechanisms of resource allocation, such as assignment, matching, voting rules and cost sharing. A central question is the interface between the incentives properties of these mechanisms and their normative properties of equity and efficiency. |
