演講者簡介 : Professor Brandenburger received his Ph.D. in Economics from University of Cambridge. He is currently J.P. Valles Professor at the NYU Stern School of Business, New York University. He works in the areas of game theory and, more recently, quantum information, and applies his work in game theory to the area of business strategy.
演講摘要 : The epistemic approach to game theory makes how players reason about a game a central feature of the theory. The approach extends the classical definition of a game model to include not only the game matrix or game tree, but also a description of how the players reason about one another (including their reasoning about other players' reasoning and, perhaps, even higher-order reasoning). With this richer mathematical structure, it becomes possible to determine the implications of how players reason for how a game is played. Epistemic game theory includes traditional equilibrium-based theory as a special case, but allows for a wide range of non-equilibrium behavior. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the approach. I will draw on material from my new book The Language of Game Theory: Putting Epistemics into the Mathematics of Games (World Scientific, 2014).
