Evolutionary Game Theory

Duration: 06/2014 - 11/2019

Funding: ETH Zürich

Description:
Evolutionary game theory combines the mathematical models of game theory with the insights from evolutionary biology and behavioral studies. We aim to understand the dynamics underlying population interactions, and contribute to New Economic Thinking (please also refer to New Economic Thinking).

This project is related to the ERC Momentum project.
