Biography

Ariel Rubinstein studied mathematics and economics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 1972–1979. He is a professor of economics at the School of Economics at Tel Aviv University and the Department of Economics at New York University.

In 1982, he published "Perfect equilibrium in a bargaining model",^[1] an important contribution to the theory of bargaining. The model is known also as a Rubinstein bargaining model. It describes two-person bargaining as an extensive game with perfect information in which the players alternate offers. A key assumption is that the players are impatient. The main result gives conditions under which the game has a unique subgame perfect equilibrium and characterizes this equilibrium. He also co-wrote A Course in Game Theory (1994) with Martin J. Osborne, a textbook that has been cited in excess of 5,300 times as of March 2014.^[2]

Rubinstein was elected a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities (1995),^[3] a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in (1994)^[4] and the American Economic Association (1995). In 1985 he was elected a fellow of the Econometric Society,^[5] and served as its president in 2004.^[6]

In 2002, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Tilburg University.^[7]
