5 April Talk: Game Theory and Market Design - 2 Problems

[Siddhartha Jain]

Dear All,

Please find the details of Thursday's T-talk.

Speaker: Dr. Rakesh Chaturvedi

Abstract:

I will discuss the notion of CURB (Closed Under Rational Behavior) Sets in Game Theory as a set-theoretic coarsening of the idea of Nash Equilibrium and as a refinement of the idea of Rationalizability. I will talk about the possibility of using this as the basis of inventing a solution concept that attempts to define stable behavior when players may act in a coordinated way as part of a coalition but coalitions act independently of one another. On a different note, I will talk about market failure in an environment where trade involves land acquisition from many independent owners. I will lay out the model framework in which we can think about how to improve market outcomes in terms of some agreed upon desiderata.

Venue: C02

Time: 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm, 5th April 2018
