About the Event

Social norms dictate a large part of human behavior, and much work has been done in various fields (both qualitatively and quantitatively) to describe this phenomenon. There has been recent attention from a game theoretic perspective, but it has all been from a non-cooperative and evolutionary standpoint. This talk will present my working ideas to analyze social norms under a cooperative game theoretic lens.
