A NOBEL FOR JERUSALEM PROFESSOR ROBERT J. AUMANN WINS NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM: FOR THE WORLD NAME OF THE GAME
The awarding of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences to Professor Robert J. Aumann in 2005 was a momentous event for the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the State of Israel, and marked international recognition both of Prof. Aumann’s achievements and of the Hebrew University as a world-class institution of higher learning.
Prof. Aumann, a member of the University’s Center for the Study of Rationality and professor emeritus at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics, was awarded the Nobel Prize for his insightful work in laying the foundation for game theory analysis of long-run relationships. He was cited for his vision that game theory had the potential to reshape the analysis of human interaction, thereby elucidating a more precise understanding of the conditions that facilitate cooperation and prevent conflict.
Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Robert (Yisrael) Aumann’s family immigrated to the US in 1938. After earning a BSc in mathematics from City College of New York and a PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he immigrated to Israel in 1956 and joined the faculty of the Hebrew University.
A key founder of the University’s Center for the Study of Rationality, Prof. Aumann describes the Nobel Prize as recognition “not just for me, but for Israel… it is permissible to say that we have become a powerhouse in this field [of game theory].” THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM CELEBRATES ITS NOBEL PRIZE HERITAGE

From 1994/1995 until the present, the assets of the University’s Endowment Funds have grown by $93.2 million, from $234.8 million at the end of 1994/1995 to $328 million at the end of 2004/2005, with an average growth of $9.3 million per year. During 2004/2005, Endowment Funds assets increased by $19.4 million. Net profit from Endowment Funds during 2004/2005 amounted to $26.6 million, a yield of nearly 8.1%. The substantial income shown in the financial statements this year is due to gains derived from investments. In accordance with the policy of the Endowment Funds Committee, 25% of the funds’ investments are linked to the US dollar and the remaining 75% are linked to shekel channels. Starting in 2003/2004, Endowment Funds Committee financial statements are prepared and presented in nominal shekels (NIS), instead of in dollars (US $) as in previous years. The figures for 2004/2005 were calculated according to the rate of exchange on September 30, 2005.
