Jörgen Weibull: Robust set-valued prediction in games

Game theory has transformed economics and greatly influenced other social and behavioral sciences. The central solution concept used in applications is that of Nash equilibrium. Yet Nash equilibria can be fragile and Nash equilibrium play does not generally follow from assumptions of rationality or of evolution. It is here argued that an exploration of methods for robust set-valued prediction in games is called for, and some such approaches and avenues for future research are discussed.

The speaker was invited by Dilian Gurov.
