In this course
Nagel is known for experimental work on bounded rationality and iterated reasoning in game theory, particularly the "beauty contest game" that measures how many levels of strategic thinking players actually employ. Her framework appears in the course's engagement with cognitive hierarchy models—the excerpts show how k-step thinking and level-τ reasoning operationalize her insights into how humans deviate from perfect Nash equilibrium through limited depth of recursion. This grounds the seminar's interest in the gap between idealized rational agents and actual decision-making under uncertainty, bridging game theory and cognitive science.
