Keynote Speakers
Faruk R. Gül is the Susan Dod Brown Professor of Economics at Princeton University, a Fellow of the Econometric Society and co-editor of the Journal of Economic Theory. Prior to joining Princeton University he served as a professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business and Northwestern University. He did his undergraduate studies at Boğaziçi University, and received his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1986, where he was a PhD student of Hugo Sonnenschein. Gül’s work has specialized in game theory and choice theory. In the former, he has had papers most notably on Coase Conjecture, asymmetric-information bargaining, and Shapley Value. In the latter, he has made seminal contributions on topics of disappointment aversion, and revealed preference theory of temptation and self-control.
Paola Manzini is a Professor of Economics in the School of Economics at the University of Bristol. Her research interests lie in the mathematical modelling of human decisions and interactions in possibly conflictual strategic situations (i.e. game theory).
She has worked extensively on bargaining and negotiations, and in more recent years she has been focussing on modelling the behaviour of agents who fail the classic assumptions of full rationality, e.g. because of attention failures, misperception of time, reliance on possibly suboptimal rules of thumb, and so on. She has also experience in the design and running of experiments.
She joined Bristol in April 2021, having worked previously at the University of Sussex, the University of St Andrews, and Queen Mary, University of London. Her first appointment was at the University of Exeter.
Hervé Moulin graduated in 1971 from the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris and received his PhD in mathematics from the Université de Paris in 1975. After teaching at the Ecole Nationale de la Statistique et Administration Economique and Dauphine University in Paris, he moved to the USA in 1984, first to the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, then to Duke and Rice Universities. He joined the University of Glasgow in 2013. He is a Fellow of the Econometric Society since 1983, of the Royal Society of Edinburgh since 2015, and of the British Academy since 2018.
