International Affairs Building, 420 W. 118 St., New York, NY 10027 1501
Please join us for the 12th Annual Kenneth J. Arrow Lecture delivered by Colin F. Camerer, Robert Kirby Professor of Behavioral Economics and Director of the T&C Chen Center for Social and Decision Neuroscience, at California Institute of Technology, on "Natural Strategic Thinking in the Lab, Brain, and Field." This lecture will discuss game theories in which not all agents fully think through what other agents are likely to do. These "cognitive hierarchy" models (including level-k) are consistent with a wide variety of simple and more complex lab and field experiments, some data on neural activity, and have also been usefully applied in basic areas of economics including industrial organization and macroeconomics. Discussants: Karla Hoff, Visiting Professor of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University; former Lead Economist, World Bank Rosemarie Nagel, Professor, Universitat Pompeu Fabra; Research Professor at ICREA and Barcelona School of Economics; Director of BESLAB, Universitat Pompeu Fabra Joseph E. Stiglitz, 2001 Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences; University Professor, Columbia University Co-sponsored by: The Center on Global Economic Governance at the School of International and Public Affairs, the Program for Economic Research, Columbia Economics, and Columbia University Press.
