Hervé Moulin has been a Fellow of the Econometric Society since 1983, of the Royal Society of Edinburgh since 2015, and of the British Academy since 2018. He was President of the Social Choice and Welfare Society 1998-2000, and for 2018-2020 is the President of the Game Theory Society. He is on the Editorial board of Economic Theory (asco-Editor), Games and Economic Behaviour, International Journal of Game Theory, Mathematics of Operations Research and Transactions on Economics and Computation. His work has contributed to redefining the field of ‘normative economics’, poised to invent new resource allocation mechanisms – or refine existing ones - in a variety of contexts: voting rules; the fair division of assets (as in a divorce or inheritance); rationing of over-demanded commodities (such as organs for transplant or seats for a popular event); the exploitationof a “commons; the assignment of tasks between workers; the scheduling of jobs in a queue; and sharing the cost and pricing the traffic of a communication network.
