Andrew B. Whinston (born June 3, 1936) is an American economist and computer scientist. He is the Hugh Roy Cullen Centennial Chair in Business Administration, Professor of Information Systems, Computer Science and Economics, and Director of the Center for Research in Electronic Commerce (CREC) in the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin.
In the late 1950s, he was Sanxsay Fellow at Princeton University. Whinston achieved his PhD from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1962, when he also received its Alexander Henderson Award for Excellence in Economic Theory. He started working at the economics department of Yale University , where he was a member of the Cowles Foundation. He became an associate professor of economics at the University of Virginia in 1964. By 1966 he was a full professor at Purdue University, where he became the university's inaugural Weiler Distinguished Professor of management, economics, and computer science.
He began his contributions to the academic world in 1961 when he published a paper in a law journal on the topic of urban renewal. In 1962, he published his first two papers. The first was in the Journal of Political Economy where he showed how non-cooperative game theory could be applied to issues in microeconomics. In the second paper entitled "A Model of Multi-Period Investment under Uncertainty" which appeared in Management Science, he used nonlinear optimization methods to determine optimal portfolios over time.[citation needed]
