In this course

Costa-Gomes et al. conducted foundational empirical work on bounded rationality and strategic decision-making in game theory, introducing experimental data that challenged the assumption of perfect Nash equilibrium play in human behavior. In this course's engagement with cognitive models of decision-making, their work is cited to validate the Cognitive Hierarchy and Poisson-CH models—frameworks that decompose players into "k-step thinkers" with different depths of strategic reasoning rather than assuming uniform rational maximization. Their experimental datasets provide the benchmark against which theoretical models of limited computational capacity and recursive belief formation are measured, linking behavioral economics to the artificial reasoning systems the course examines.
