Alvin Eliot Roth
Profesor Alvin Eliot „Al“ Roth se narodil 18. prosince 1951 v Queens, New York. Studoval na Columbia University, kde se zabýval operačním výzkumem, přešel na Stanford University a roku 1974 získává PhD v oboru operačního výzkumu. Odchází přednášet na University of Illinois, poté na University of Pittsburgh a vrací se na Stanford a jako profesor emeritus přednáší na Harvard University.
Roth se zabýval zejména teorií her, návrhem trhů a experimentální ekonomikou. Ve svých pracech navazuje na svého kolegu Shapleyho sérií empirických studií, pomáhajících k úpravám přiřazovacích postupů. Konkrétně například vypracoval nové postupy pro optimální přiřazení absolventů základních škol do škol středních s aplikací pro New York a Boston. A. E. Roth na základě práce Shapleyho a Galeho navrhl vhodný mechanismus výběru, algoritmus a podmínky zaručující úspěch. V praxi to tedy znamená nejen optimalizaci volby studentů a vylepšení systému přijímání studentů ke studiu na středních školách, ale i umisťování nových lékařů do nemocnic a tvorbu registru dárců ledvin a příjemců transplantace.
Alvin Roth je mj. členem American Academy of Arts and Sciences, působí v NBER, je členem Econometric Society.
Al Roth je ženatý a má dvě již dospělé děti – Aarona a Bena.
