Bio: Dr. Guoqiang Tian, Alfred F. Chalk Professor of Economics, is an economic theorist with broad theoretical interests focusing on mechanism design theory, game theory, auction theory, matching theory, mathematical economics, economic transition and Chinese economy. He is currently working on mechanism design in various settings including optimal and dynamic contract design, the existence of Nash equilibrium in discontinuous games, auction with participant costs, matching issues, full characterization on fixed-point theorems and related theorems, and China's reform. Professor Tian is a recipient of the 2015 Sun Yefang Award -- the highest honor in economic science in China for his book "China's Reform: History, Logic and Future", and the Annual Great Thinker award by the China Business Network in 2016. He is a National Special-Term expert of China, and serves as Editor of Frontiers of Economics in China and Co-editor of Annals of Economics and Finance.
