  • John McMillan was the Jonathan B. Lovelace professor of economics in Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, and one of the world's leading economic theorists and applied microeconomists. His career was initially marked by important contributions to auction theory and mechanism design. In the 1980s, he worked on the use of incentives in state owned enterprises in China and policies for emerging economies. His recent work has examined entrepreneurship in those economies, as well as the institutional structure for economic development. Born in Christchurch, New Zealand, John McMillan's undergraduate education was in mathematics and economics at the University of Canterbury. He completed his PhD in economics at the University of New South Wales before moving to the University of Western Ontario, Canada. From 1987 to 1999, he was a Professor at the University of California, San Diego, before moving to Stanford University. McMillan died on the 13 March 2007, of complications arising from cancer, at age 56. From his Stanford bio: A New Zealander, McMillan was the editor of the Journal of Economic Literature from 1998 to 2004. He is co-director of the Stanford Graduate School of Business Center for Global Business and the Economy. He was awarded the Harry Johnson Prize by the Canadian Economic Association; is a Fellow of the Econometric Society; and is a Distinguished Fellow of the New Zealand Association of Economists. His Reinventing the Bazaar was a New York Times Notable Book. He is a co-founder and principal of the consulting firm Market Design Inc. He has advised various firms and governments on deregulation, contracting, and market structure. He helped the U.S. Federal Communications Commission design the mechanism for selling spectrum licenses (which the New York Times called “the greatest auction in history”).
