In this course

Costa-Gomes appears as a behavioral economist studying how human subjects deviate from Nash equilibrium predictions in experimental game theory settings. The excerpts show their work (likely co-authored with Binmore and others) using controlled laboratory games—entry games and matrix games with mixed strategies—to test whether real players follow theoretical economic models or exhibit systematic behavioral patterns. This empirical challenge to rational actor assumptions grounds discussions in the course about how computational and game-theoretic models fail to capture actual decision-making, relevant to understanding AI systems trained on human behavior.
