The
Economic Theory Center serves to support research in economic
theory at Washington University in St. Louis. It sponsors
research-related activities such as outside speakers, visitors, and
conferences, as well as serving to promulgate research conducted by
center members. There are many topics in economic theory supported by
the Center, including game theory, decision theory, behavioral
economics, general equilibrium theory, and mechanism design. A sampling
of topics includes repeated games, learning in games, auctions,
contract theory, voting, reputation, information, unawareness,
signaling and recursive equilibria. We also support experimental
research that is tightly linked to economic theory. The Center is an
interdisciplinary unit drawing members from both the Olin School and
Arts and Sciences, and includes macroeconomists and experimentalists as
well as economic theorists.
Economic Theory Workshop – about 25 speakers per year
Brown Bag Workshop in Experimental Economics : about 6-7 speakers per year
- sponsors the Olin School Distinguished Lecture in Economic Theory and the Department of Economics Distinguished Theory Lecture each year
