In this course

Robert Wilson is an economist known for work on game theory and bounded rationality, appearing here in the context of cognitive hierarchy models that challenge pure Nash equilibrium predictions. The course readings invoke Wilson (alongside Stahl) to ground empirical tests of how players actually reason strategically in games—his models enable analysis of disequilibrium behavior and belief hierarchies rather than assuming perfect rationality. This framework matters for understanding how artificial agents and humans diverge from classical game-theoretic predictions, a key concern in thinking through AI behavior in strategic environments.
