ECON3309 · Economics
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
We apply insights from game theory to explain human social behavior, focusing on novel applications which have heretofore been the realm of psychologists and philosophers--for example, why people speak indirectly, in what sense beauty is socially constructed, and where our moral intuitions come from--and eschewing traditional economic applications such as industrial organization or auctions.
