& BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS
Advances in behavioral game theory and
decision theory
From June 24 to June 28, 2019

OVERVIEW
Standard economics has been the subject of many critiques. Mainstream economic models and analysis rely on a level of
sophistication that is hard to justify from an introspective viewpoint but also considering the large body of experimental
evidence. Recent years have witnessed a flurry of alternative approaches. The programme proposes reviewing a large
body of these approaches, with the goal of stimulating new research both theoretical and applied.

WORKSHOP
Participants will have an opportunity to submit work to be presented and discussed by fellow participants and faculty in
daily workshops.

PREREQUISITES
Graduate in economics with solid background in economic theory, decision theory and game theory. The programme is
intended primarily for PhD students but exceptions can be considered for well motivated candidates.

Bounded rationality in Games
Philippe Jehiel

                                                                                      This course takes place every day
OBJECTIVES
The modern approach to solution concepts in games is by a learning story. Players may have wrong expectations
(either about the opponent’s play or about the assessment of their own strategy) to start with, but as experience
accumulates expectations should get closer to the truth: if behaviors stabilize they should correspond to an equilibrium
play. However, this view (at least applied in a strict sense) seems less plausible in complex games. Think of chess.
Predicting what the opponent will do in more than a few steps ahead is impractical. Knowing or learning the value of a
board position is impossible (for most positions), even for the best chess players. Such simple considerations suggest
the need to develop models of bounded rationality, which may next be used to approach a number of economic
interactions in a new way.
The objective of the course is to stimulate new research in game theory and applications that maintains the game
theoretic tradition of high logical standards while incorporating elements of bounded rationality/behavioral economics
in the analysis. Various approaches to behavioral economics and bounded rationality are discussed in the course.

Individual decision making
Jean‐Marc Tallon

                                                                                        This course takes place every day
OBJECTIVES
This course will cover some major approaches to the study of individual behavior and decision making. It will explore a
selection of the most important ideas in behavioral economics, restricting ourselves to models of individual decision
making. We will cover three domains: choice behavior, representation of and behavior under uncertainty, time
preferences. The goal is to introduce models of behavior alternative to the standard homo oeconomicus approach,
building on some insights from experimental economics and psychology.

OBJECTIVES
The objective of the class is to take a critical journey across economic theory (decision theory under uncertainty,
auctions, repeated games, reputation, information transmission...). Our models generally assume that agents know
with precision the environment they face, or the exact distributions over the parameters that the analyst assumes. This
places strong cognitive demands on agents, or it gives agents extraordinary powers of discernment. Our aim will be to
identify these cognitive demands, highlight how our intuitions are shaped by (and sometimes hinge on) these
demands, and suggest alternative models that assume lesser sophistication on agents. Along the way, we shall also
review how the path proposed, based on direct strategy restrictions, compete with other methods for limiting the
rationality of economic agents.
