The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences decided to award the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for 2014 to Jean Tirole for his analysis of market power and regulation. Using game theory as the main tool,Tirole studied the issues of macro economy,enterprise management and social development,and created a series of new research fields. These achievements are significant both theoretically and practically in that they promoted the application of game theory in economics and management and established the status of the game theory in economics and management. This paper summarizes the academic contribution of Tirole,and proposes some research directions and problems worthy of attention.
