The Prize in Economic Sciences 2005 - Press Release

The Prize in Economic Sciences 2005 - Press Release: "In many real-world situations, cooperation may be easier to sustain in a long-term relationship than in a single encounter. Analyses of short-run games are, thus, often too restrictive. Robert Aumann was the first to conduct a full-fledged formal analysis of so-called infinitely repeated games. His research identified exactly what outcomes can be upheld over time in long-run relations.

The theory of repeated games enhances our understanding of the prerequisites for cooperation: Why it is more difficult when there are many participants, when they interact infrequently, when interaction is likely to be broken off, when the time horizon is short or when others' actions cannot be clearly observed. Insights into these issues help explain economic conflicts such as price wars and trade wars, as well as why some communities are more successful than others in managing common-pool resources. The repeated-games approach clarifies the raison d�être of many institutions, ranging from merchant guilds and organized crime to wage negotiations and international trade agreements."

Yep. That's why I wrote my MSc about repeated games. I'm glad the Nobel prize committee has finally
come round.

Its about time

Just heard on the radio (no links yet).

Yisrael Aumann has been awarded the Nobel prize. So that's the fifth nobelist I've met. >smug< Well, I wonder if Israeli kids will flock to game theory now, just like they all started practicing Judo when Yael Arad got her medal.

Winter's coming. Mental note: print a few Howtoons to get us through those long, dark, damp Saterday afternoons.

Now will you listen?

In Plans to Evacuate U.S. Cities, Chance for Havoc - New York Times: "Sandra S. Hutchens, chief of the office of homeland security at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. 'With an earthquake or a major terrorist attack, we'd obviously have no warning. We haven't looked at mass evacuation or temporary housing for hundreds of thousands of people.'"

No Warning?
Maybe Ms. Hutchens should read Science magazine, or the new scientist.

Good GM, bad GM?

How do you take in the benefits of GM and biotech, and keep out its vices? Well, maybe one way is the
Open Source way. That kind of sieve should let through nutrition enhancement, but keep out herbicide resistance.
