Hervé Moulin (born in 1950 in Paris) is the Donald J. Robertson Chair of Economics at the Adam Smith Business School at the University of Glasgow. He is known for his research contributions in mathematical economics, in particular in the fields of mechanism design, social choice, game theory and fair division. He has written six books and over 100 peer-reviewed articles.
Before joining the University of Glasgow, he was the George A. Peterkin Professor of Economics at Rice University (from 1999 to 2013):, the James B. Duke Professor of Economics at Duke University (from 1989 to 1999) and the University Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech (from 1987 to 1989).
He is a fellow of the Econometric Society since 1983, and a Council Member of the Game Theory Society since 2000, and its Executive Vice-President for the term 2016 - 2018. He also served as president of the Society for Social Choice and Welfare for the period of 1998 to 1999. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
His research has been supported in part by seven grants from the US National Science Foundation. He collaborates as an adviser with the fair division website Spliddit, created by Ariel Procaccia.
On the occasion of his 65th birthday, the Paris School of Economics and the Aix-Marseille University organised a conference in his honor, with Peyton Young, William Thomson, Salvador Barbera, and Moulin himself as speakers, among others.
Moulin obtained his doctoral degree in Mathematics at the University of Paris in 1975 with a thesis on zero-sum games, which was published in French at the Mémoires de la Société Mathématique de France and in English in the Journal of Mathematical Analysis and its Applications.
