Biography
E. (Eric) Glen Weyl is a second-year Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of
Fellows. He also spends each June in Toulouse, France as a visiting
researcher at the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE).
Glen was born in San Francisco on May, 6 1985 and raised in the Bay Area
before attending boarding school at Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. He
was valedictorian of Princeton’s 2007 class, receiving an AB in economics,
followed by an MA and PhD in 2008.
Glen’s primary intellectual interests are in pure and applied microeconomic
theory, with a focus on industrial organization, as well as the
intersection between economics and other disciplines, particularly
philosophy and evolutionary biology. His research, which he has presented at
dozens of venues on three continents, addresses topics ranging from the
career choices of talented students to the relationship between Simon
Kuznets’s Russian Jewish heritage and his economic thinking.
His first two academic articles, one on two-sided markets and a second on
individual rights, have just been published in Economics Letters and
Politics, Philosophy and Economics respectively. A third article “A Price
Theory of Multi-Sided Platforms” is forthcoming in the American Economic
Review. His current research includes:
Developing a new model of first-order econometric identification and
applying it to industrial organization
Designing market institutions, such intellectual property (joint with Jean
Tirole) and systems for assembling disparately owned property (joint with
Scott Kominers)
Theory and experiments, joint with Megan Frederickson and other co-authors,
on cooperation between species, especially plants and ants
Connecting and testing (with Yali Miao) stability, uniqueness and
comparative statics in multi-dimensional equilibrium systems
Glen served as a preceptor (teaching assistant) for Financial Economics I, a
second-year PhD asset pricing course, at Princeton and has been a guest
lecturer in several classes at Princeton and TSE. He is also a referee for
scholarly journals including the American Economic Review, Econometrica, the
Journal of Political Economy and the Quarterly Journal of Economics. He
has been an academic visitor at universities and ministries in Brazil, Chile
and México, as well as a research intern at the US Department of Justice
Antitrust Division.
Outside his academic life, Glen serves on the advisory board of Esopus, an
art magazine. In August 2010, he plans to marry to Alisha C. Holland; his
girlfriend since freshman year of college, a Harvard Ph. D. student in
government and the winner of the Pyne Prize (Princeton’s highest
undergraduate honor).

你现在悠哉游哉啊
给你看个天才，刺激你一下

看看他的cv
看看他研究的东西
北大的师生在他面前，基本属于文盲
[email protected] 说 (19:56):
我的论文还没忙完，博士课题要做的还没开始，fulbright申请又杯具了，哪里悠哉得
起来:(
climategate, a big scandal 说 (19:56):
呵呵
挫折是好事
climategate, a big scandal 说 (19:57):
好好沉下心做点好的研究嘛
[email protected] 说 (20:21):
85年的小后生，崩溃了..
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:21):
问题是他已然是samulson级别的人啦
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:22):
甚至他是冯纽曼级别的人啊
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:23):
老C和我佩服的人不多，虽然很多人比我们做的好。但是，我俩今天下午认真读了他的
东西，真服了他
[email protected] 说 (20:23):
啊，我没有仔细看，原来到了这等层次！
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:24):
他的论文讨论的出发点都是很简单的问题，但是都是200年来经济学的核心精神。不是
靠技术解决啥问题，而是扩展了人们的经济学思考。他感兴趣的题目涉及经济学的几乎
全部领域
甚至超出经济学的领域
都做得超好
[email protected] 说 (20:25):
我看他的bio中写了...cooperation between species, especially plants and ants
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:25):
他还做演化理论，科学哲学和科学学习，机器人和人工智能
哈哈哈
[email protected] 说 (20:25):
这太强大了
[email protected] 说 (20:26):
nobel econ prize 和 acm turing prize以前有一人得过，他可以再创造这个奇迹吧
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:26):
plants and ants，史研究生物多样性和演进理论中的核心问题
他是超级天才
他的知识面比我和老C广，他做的每个问题都很有创见。
他2007年本科毕业
2008年博士毕业
[email protected] 说 (20:27):
。。。。一年啊，princeton这么出天才
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:27):
你说的是西蒙，可是西蒙在经济学里的影响是第二层次的
西蒙在经济学里做的东西太偏
[email protected] 说 (20:28):
对，simon主要贡献在人工智能上
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:28):
普林斯顿的教授说，他是20年来普林斯顿最好的学生
20年普林斯吨能培养好几个诺贝尔奖呢
哈哈
芝加哥直接给他tenure，他没去，选择了harvard
[email protected] 说 (20:28):
太强大了...天才没得比
[email protected] 说 (20:29):
做研究的人不图钱图精神就是要寻求这种榜样来膜拜啊~~
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:30):
是啊
我的话是，在这小子面前，北大的师生基本属于文盲级别
[email protected] 说 (20:30):
哈哈，我们是最最低级的白丁了..
climategate, a big scandal 说 (20:31):
你看他写的scientic learning那一篇
是跨学科的

希尔伯特·西蒙（Herbert Simon）
西蒙是我们这个时代一个多才多艺的人， 他的博士学位是政治学，他的诺贝尔奖是经
济学，他在管理学、计算机科学、心理学和哲学等领域也有突出的贡献。他多才多艺，
兴趣广泛，会画画，会弹钢琴，既 爱爬山、旅行，又爱学习各种外国语，能流利地说
多种外语。作为科学家，他涉足的领域之多，成果之丰，影响之深远，令人叹为观止。
西蒙是人工智能和数学定理 计算机证明的奠基者之一。他和纽厄尔(Allen Newell)合
作的一系列开创性的研究成果，改变了我们对人脑和电脑关系的理解。他和纽厄尔1975
年同获计算机领域的最高奖图灵奖，是因为他们在创立和发展人工智能方面的杰出贡献
，当然是计算机科学家。西蒙是“管理决策理论”的创始人。他提出了管理的决策职能
，并建立了系统的决策理论。这一理论被公认为是关于公司企业实际决策的独创见解。
西蒙在1978年更荣获诺贝尔经济学奖，不言而喻是世界一流的大经济学家。而且他是管
理学界唯一的诺贝尔经济学奖获得者。瑞典皇家科学院对西蒙的学术贡献作出这样的评
价：“现代企业经济学和管理研究大部分基于西蒙的思想”。1986年他又因为在行为科
学上的出色贡献而荣获美国全国科学奖章(National Medal of Science)。1969年，美
国心理学会由于西蒙在心理学上的贡献而授予他“杰出科学贡献奖”(Distinguished
Scientific Contributions Award)。
希尔伯特·西蒙在管理学、心理学、计算机、经济学等领域都做出过开创性的贡献，被
人称作百科全书式的人物和人类历史上罕见的通才。
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Simon
Herbert Alexander Simon (June 15, 1916– February 9, 2001) was an American
political scientist, economist, and psychologist, and professor—most
notably at Carnegie Mellon University—whose research ranged across the
fields of cognitive psychology, computer science, public administration,
economics, management, philosophy of science, sociology, and political
science. With almost a thousand very highly cited publications, he is one of
the most influential social scientists of the 20th century.
Simon was a polymath, among the founding fathers of several of today's
important scientific domains, including artificial Intelligence, information
processing, decision-making, problem-solving, attention economics,
organization theory, complex systems, and computer simulation of scientific
discovery. He coined the terms bounded rationality and satisficing, and was
the first to analyze the architecture of complexity and to propose a
preferential attachment mechanism to explain power law distributions.
He also received many top-level honors later in life. These include: the ACM
's Turing Award for making "basic contributions to artificial intelligence,
the psychology of human cognition, and list processing" (1975); the Nobel
Memorial Prize in Economics "for his pioneering research into the decision-
making process within economic organizations" (1978); the National Medal of
Science (1986); and the APA's Award for Outstanding Lifetime Contributions
to Psychology (1993).
As a testament to his interdisciplinary approach, Simon was affiliated with
such varied Carnegie Mellon departments as the School of Computer Science,
Tepper School of Business, Departments of Philosophy, Social and Decision
Sciences, and Psychology.
