Biography

In 1974 Fuad Aleskerov graduated from the Mechanics and Mathematics department of Moscow State University. He has worked in Trapeznikov Institute of Control Sciences since 1975. He started as an intern and became a head of the laboratory by 1989. He researched a Ph.D. thesis on the topic «Interval choice» in 1981. In 1993 he got Dr.Sc. for research in Local Aggregation Models in the institute.

Contribution

F.T.Aleskerov's area of expertise is modern theory of choice, which is the foundation for disciplines such as decision making theory, economics, and psychology. He studied and extended models of interval choice, which were first considered by Norbert Wiener, studied models of social choice and generalized the classical works first analyzed by Kenneth Arrow, Amartya Sen and Eric Maskin. He introduced new classes of binary relations, such as weak bi-orders, simple and simplest semi-orders and which extend the known classes of binary relations that are widely used in mathematics, economics, and psychology. He proposed a new class of power indices, taking into account the preferences of agents to coalesce, a behavioral model of stock exchange, constructed an axiomatic of well-known rule of proportional representation – single transferable vote. He also proposed several new aggregation rules and new mathematical models for analyzing a degree of manipulability of aggregation rules.
