معرفی
Jean-Jacques Herings is a Full Professor of Quantitative Microeconomics at Tilburg University's Tilburg School of Economics and Management (TiSEM), specifically within the Department of Econometrics and Operations Research. He has held this position since March 2022, having previously been a Professor of Economics at Maastricht University from September 1999 to February 2022.
Herings' research focuses on five primary themes: Cooperative game theory, non-cooperative game theory, networks, general equilibrium theory, and equilibrium computation. His work spans theoretical foundations and practical applications, particularly in financial networks, matching markets, and strategic decision-making. He has published over 200 research outputs including articles in top journals such as Econometrica, Journal of Economic Theory, Management Science, and Mathematics of Operations Research.
His recent publications reveal a continued focus on game-theoretic applications to economic problems, with particular attention to financial networks, bankruptcy problems, matching theory, and information design. There's a clear trend toward computational methods for finding equilibria and increasingly sophisticated modeling of strategic interactions in networked environments, with over 13 publications in 2024 alone demonstrating his active research program.

As an advisor, Herings has supervised over 20 PhD students to completion, with research spanning game theory applications in economics, finance, and network theory. His editorial service includes membership on the boards of Games and Economic Behavior, Journal of Mathematical Economics, International Journal of Game Theory, and Mathematics of Operations Research. He also serves on the International Advisory Board of the Center for Mathematical Research in Economics and Finance at the University of Manchester.
