Last update:
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.
