Research Interests
Game-theoretic analysis of strategic behavior by individuals and firms, with a focus on:
(1) individuals pursuing and signaling socioeconomic status in the modern
economy;
(2) firms competing to serve and/or employ such individuals;
(3) socioeconomic risks and rewards faced by entrepreneurs and venture
employees
@@in the institutional context of Japanese and advanced Western economies;
(4) evolution of strategic mentality: preferences, commitments, perception,
feelings,
@@emotions and other cognitive/psychological elements likely to evolve
in a
@@population of theoretical agents who have been subject to many generations
of
@@selection based on individual performance in strategic interactions
among
@@themselves.
