We are no longer accepting applications CEEL program in Adaptive Economic Dynamics
Sixth Trento Summer School Intensive course in
Co-Directors: Larry Samuelson, University of Wisconsin Ken Binmore, University College, London Guest lecturers include Giovanni Dosi, SS Sant'Anna, Pisa; Dan Friedman, University of California, Santa Cruz; Peter Howitt, Brown University; Richard Nelson, Columbia University. The VI Summer School will begin with the foundations of evolutionary game theory, including biological antecedents, static evolutionary equilibrium concepts, and dynamic models. Attention will then turn to the implications of evolutionary models for equilibrium selection, including the foundations of Nash equilibrium and equilibrium refinements. The school will examine the difference between short-run and longer-run models, and the links between the two, and the difference between normal-form and extensive-form models. Applications to a number of familiar games, such as bargaining games, will be explored. Finally, attention will turn to the evolutionary foundations of human preferences and behavior, with an eye toward understanding and explaining a number of seeming paradoxes in human behavior. Interested graduate students and post-docs are encouraged to apply by submitting a curriculum vitae, a two-page essay describing their interest and background in evolutionary economic dynamics. Applicants should also submit a course transcript from their PhD program, including advanced examinations passed, and two letters of recommendation. Applications are due by April 1, 2005. We encourage electronic submissions.You can submit all the required documents by fax (0039-0461-882222) or e-mail (ccschool@economia.unitn.it) Admissions decisions will be announced by April 10, 2005. All applicants will be informed by e-mail about the results. The mini-school will be held at Sardagna Trento, Italy), a beautiful retreat, accessed by cable car, in the Dolomite Mountains. All student participants are required to stay for the entire duration of the conference. Food and accommodation at the conference will be completely covered (participants will have to cover travel to the conference). Please direct logistical questions to the Summer School Secretary (ccschool@economia.unitn.it). This is the Sixth of a series of intensive courses offered by the Computable and Experimental Economics Laboratory (CEEL). Previous courses were offered in Computable Economics (2000, Professor K. Vela Velupillai), Experimental Economics (2001, Professor Daniel Friedman), Adaptive Economic Processes (2002, Professor Peter Howitt), Behavioral Economics (2003, Professors Daniel Friedman and David Laibson) and Institutional Economics (2004, Professor Richard N. Langlois).
