Lloyd S. Shapley

Lloyd S. Shapley, a longtime RAND Corporation researcher and UCLA professor who was a leading expert in the study of strategic decisionmaking called “game theory,” sharing the Nobel Prize in economics for his work on the subject, has died, aged 92.

"Lloyd Shapley, who is credited with naming the book and film 'A Beautiful Mind,' indeed possessed one of his own," said Michael D. Rich, president and CEO of the RAND Corporation. "His contributions to game theory have and will continue to impact the field of economics for years to come."
