John Van Huyck

In this course
Van Huyck appears to be an experimental economist whose work on coordination games and bounded rationality is cited in the course readings, particularly in relation to how agents form expectations and deviate from Nash equilibrium predictions in real-world settings. His research enables the readings to ground discussions of imperfect rationality and noisy decision-making in empirical game theory, bridging normative economic models and the messier cognitive realities that matter for understanding AI systems trained on human behavior. The excerpts suggest he's used as a methodological touchstone for examining when classical game-theoretic predictions hold and when cognitive or informational constraints create meaningful divergence.
