Workshop 2014 - Controversies in Game Theory: Homo Oeconomicus Versus Homo Socialis
ETH Zurich (Switzerland), September 8-12, 2014
Topics
|
Explaining and predicting the behavior of humans is
one of the core puzzles of science. Explaining human behavior is
particularly difficult when the outcomes of a decision do not only
depend on the behavior of the decision maker but also on the behavior of
others. Examples are abound, ranging from family and work life, to
financial markets, to international relations. In these settings,
decision makers do not only consider their own interests but also
predict the behavior of their interaction partners. The
most powerful theory that deals with these kind of problems is game
theory. The mini-course `Controversies in Game Theory: Homo Oeconomicus
versus Homo Socialis' provides an in-depth introduction to issues in
game theory. In particular, the course will focus on the recent debate
about own-regarding and other-regarding preferences. The course
integrates theory and empirical research from sociology, economics,
physics, and biology. The course will cover contributions in
theoretical, experimental, evolutionary and cooperative game theory, and
is concluded with a `master class' on current research directions. |
