  • This podcast optimizes the utility of my workouts!

    This is an intelligent, engaging, and well-produced show covering a broad-but-not-too-broad range of game theory and decision science topics. The content is relevant to the academic and the businessperson alike. As an IP damages expert, I find that it always prompts tons of delightfully nerdy new ideas in my brain. Highly recommended!

    First Time I listened but unfortunately the recording is so bad that it was impossible to understand Matthias Schranner.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bridging the Gap: From Lab Experiments to Real Behaviour – with Jan Stoop
Q: What kind of behaviors are you most interested in studying, and what behavioral results are you testing in the field?
I focus on unethical and pro-social behavior, particularly how established lab results translate when tested in real-world settings, using natural field experiments to bridge the lab and the field.
Political Polarisation – A Game-Theoretic Perspective | with Adam Meirowitz
Q: How do these echo chambers change the strategic incentives of the candidates?
Candidates facing echo chambers believe that voters are more responsive to policy platforms, leading them to adopt more moderate positions to increase their chances of winning.
Political Polarisation – A Game-Theoretic Perspective | with Adam Meirowitz
Q: Can you tell us what echo chambers are in this context?
Echo chambers are when voters receive only selective information that reinforces their existing beliefs, limiting exposure to opposing viewpoints.
Cheap talk – Game Theory's insights on communication | with Navin Kartik
Q: Why do people engage in cheap talk if it's non-consequential?
Talk is cheap doesn't mean it is useless or without impact; we engage in it because it can still convey important information depending on the context and alignment of interests.
Cheap talk – Game Theory's insights on communication | with Navin Kartik
Q: Can you give just one example of cheap talk?
An example of cheap talk is if you're being interviewed; you can say a lot of things that are difficult to verify, and it doesn't cost you differently.
