MIT Game Lab. Link between quantum physics and game theory found. (Phys.org) —A deep link between two seemingly unconnected areas of modern science has been discovered by researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Geneva.
While research tends to become very specialized and entire communities of scientists can work on specific topics with only a little overlap between them, physicist Dr Nicolas Brunner and mathematician Professor Noah Linden worked together to uncover a deep and unexpected connection between their two fields of expertise: game theory and quantum physics. Dr Brunner said: "Once in a while, connections are established between topics which seem, on the face of it, to have nothing in common. The Emerging Revolution in Game Theory.
The world of game theory is currently on fire.
In May, Freeman Dyson at Princeton University and William Press at the University of Texas announced that they had discovered a previously unknown strategy for the game of prisoner’s dilemma which guarantees one player a better outcome than the other. That’s a monumental surprise. Theorists have studied Prisoner’s Dilemma for decades, using it as a model for the emergence of co-operation in nature. This work has had a profound impact on disciplines such as economics, evolutionary biology and, of course, game theory itself. The new result will have impact in all these areas and more. The game is this: imagine Alice and Bob have committed a crime and are arrested. Category:Decision theory. Decision theory is the study of optimal actions, as determined by considering the probability and utility of different outcomes.

In the spring of 2010, a friend pitched me a startup idea for renting out children’s clothing through a website.
I started helping out to learn more about e-commerce and entrepreneurship. The question for the business eventually became: how do we run a rental business without a warehouse? The idea was floated that each renter could clean the clothes themselves before sending them to the next renter, so that the business would never handle clothes. When I went to grad school, I remained curious about whether that could work, and began exploring the broader question of how best to design a sharing economy at the University of Michigan's Strategic Reasoning Group, which uses economics and computer science to understand complex environments. In order to realize that macroeconomic objective, the problem must be addressed at the microeconomic level by designing an efficient market for sharing.
Designing the Perfect Market How does one evaluate the design of a market? Rental Conclusions. Nobel Prize: Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley win economics award. 15 October 2012Last updated at 09:19 ET The two economists worked independently on the same work Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley have won the 2012 Nobel Prize in economics.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cited the US academics for their work on the "theory of stable allocations and practice of market design". The work is concerned with the best possible way to allocate resources, such as in school admissions or organs to patients who need transplants. Game Theory. List of games in game theory. Game theory studies strategic interaction between individuals in situations called games.
Classes of these games have been given names. This is a list of the most commonly studied games Explanation of features[edit] Games can have several features, a few of the most common are listed here. Nobel Prize in economics: Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth win for deferred acceptance matching algorithms. Economics is closely associated with the idea of money, but economic life extends beyond what can be or is monetized, as shown by the winners of this year’s economics Nobel Prize, Lloyd Shapley of UCLA and Alvin Roth of Stanford, “for the theory of stable allocations and the practice of market design.”
What makes their work in these fields stand out is that it primarily describes markets without any money at all. When you have money, the question of “stable” allocations isn’t all that interesting. If I prefer your coffee table to my coffee table, but you prefer my coffee table to your coffee table then we ought to switch tables. But the world is a big place, full of many people, many coffee tables, and many possible desires. Wenn das Modell die Realität bestimmen will.
Die Spieltheorie versucht zu erklären, wie sich Menschen verhalten, wenn ihre Entscheide von anderen abhängig sind.
Die gängige Wirtschaftswissenschaft vertraut stark auf spieltheoretische Annahmen. Doch die Brauchbarkeit der Theorie ist umstrittener denn je. Von Matthias Martin Becker Kaum eine wissenschaftliche Methode war so erfolgreich: Seit John von Neumann und Oskar Morgenstern im Jahr 1944 die Grundlagen der Spieltheorie schufen, eroberte sie die Psychologie, Soziologie, die Politikwissenschaften und die Biologie. Ihre eigentliche Domäne aber sind die Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Die Spieltheorie untersucht strategische Interaktionen zwischen zwei oder mehr AkteurInnen, deren Entscheidungen voneinander abhängig sind. Das Menschenbild der Spieltheorie Im Fall des Gefangenendilemmas beispielsweise würde Nash nachdrücklich für den Verrat des Kumpans plädieren, obwohl das beide schlechter dastehen lässt.
