Dr. Maskin， whose work in economic theory has had a deep influence on many areas of economics， political science， and law， is recognized by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for “having laid the foundation of mechanism design theory.”  According to the citation， the theory has among other things helped economists identify efficient trading mechanisms， regulation schemes and voting procedures.   

马斯金博士， 其经济理论著作在经济学， 政治科学， 和法学的诸多领域中都有深远的影响，“ 因对机制设计理论做了奠基性的工作”而受到瑞典皇家科学院的表彰。 根据褒奖状词， 他的理论， 除了别的贡献之外， 尤大有助于经济学家鉴识有效交易机制， 有效调控方案， 和有效表决程序。

Peter Goddard， Director of the Institute， commented， “We are delighted that Eric’s fundamental contributions to mechanism design and other significant areas of economic theory have been recognized with the Nobel Prize.  The impact of his research continues to be felt in many areas of development， finance， and politics and we are proud that the Institute is able to support his influential work now and for years to come.”

 普林斯顿高等研究院院长高达评述道：“ 我们都很高兴埃利克对机制设计和对经济理论的其他重要领域所做的奠基性贡献获得诺奖。 他的研究影响深远， 至今仍继续惠泽发展， 金融和政治诸学科的许多领域。 敝院以能在今天和将来一贯支持他的有影响的工作深感自豪。

   Mechanism design theory， initiated by Hurwicz and further developed by Maskin and Myerson， plays a central role in many areas of economics and parts of political science today.  It takes into account information about individual preferences and available production technologies usually dispersed among many actors who may use their private information to further their own interests.

 机制设计理论，由赫维茨首创， 并由马斯金和麦尔逊发扬光大， 在今天经济学的许多领域和政治科学的某些部分都起着至关重要的作用。 这个理论考虑了诸如不同的个人偏好和可资利用的生产技术之类的信息， 而这类信息平常往往分散于诸多经济活动参予者之中，为 他们所私有并利用来增进私自的利益。

 A leading economist whose work has been drawn on extensively by researchers in industrial organization， finance， development， and other fields in economics and political science， Maskin works in many areas of economic theory， including mechanism design， game theory and social choice theory.  Much of his current research focuses on the theory of coalition formation， comparing different voting systems， the theory of repeated games， and the pros and cons of intellectual property rights.

 马斯金乃经济学家之翘楚， 其著作广为研究者所引， 用于工业组织， 金融， 发展和经济学其他领域， 以及政治科学。 他研究范围涵盖多种经济理论， 包括机制设计， 博弈论， 和社会选择理论。 他目前的研究多侧重于结盟理论， 表决制度比较， 重复博弈理论， 以及智慧产权之利弊比较。
