Advanced Experimental Economics
We will offer TGU/CEFM Special lecture of Experimental Economics for graduate students by Prof. Charles Noussair, who is a CEFM member in America.
This lecture is only for Wasweda graduate students.
[Title]: Advanced Experimental Economics
[Lecturer]: Charles Noussair ( University of Arizona)
[Date]: Every Tuesday and Friday on or after 4 Jun, 15 classes
[abstract]: Experiments are used in economics, like they are in the natural sciences and in psychology, to learn about the world around us. In the case of experimental economics, the goal is to better understand how people make decisions in economic settings and how these translate into overall market and group outcomes. The objectives of this course are to acquaint you with the main findings from economic experiments and give you experience participating in experiments. Depending on theCOVID-19 situation, the lectures might be given online.

Game Theory and its Application to Political Economy
We will offer TGU/CEFM Special lecture for graduate students by Prof. Yukio Koriyama, who is a CEFM member in France.
This lecture is only for Wasweda graduate students.
[Title]：Game Theory and its Application to Political Economy
[Lecturer]：Yukio Koriyama(Ecole polytechnique)
[Date]：Every Wednesday on or after 9 Jun, 15 classes
[abstract]：We study how game-theoretic concepts are applied to the analysis of strategic interaction between multiple decision makers. We focus on application to the “design” aspect in the analysis of economic phenomena, using the approaches from the classical mechanism design to the political institutional design. The principle idea is to see how we can set up the rules in society so that desirable properties, such as efficiency, stability, fairness, equality, and strategy-proofness, are satisfied. Designing a rule requires understanding its impact on the decision makers’ incentives which affects their behaviors and thus the social outcomes. The students will see how game-theoretic concepts are applied to real-life examples in political economy and social choice theory, such as voting in committee, competition among political parties, voting in international institutions, the US Presidential Election, and many more.
