Q: What are some good project ideas in game theory?

I am going to do a project in Game Theory. I have done an introductory course of game theory. Can you suggest me some ideas for the project? The idea on which I will work must be original.I just want to get some hints (since I am a beginner). I will be thankful for any suggestions.

Guillermo Mosse

what type of project? Are there any restrictions?

neraj

@GuillermoMosse work should be published and idea should be original .

Guillermo Mosse

published where? Or do you have to read and make an exposition about a published work?

neraj

@GuillermoMosse our instructor told that work should be original so that it can be published .He is giving very high weightage to the project so he wants us to work hard on it by selecting a good topic .

Guillermo Mosse

If you are an undergraduate, he is crazy; he can't expect for a student to publish a paper as homework.

neraj

@GuillermoMosse 1.He said we should work to a level for getting work published and not necessarily published.2.Why undergrads can't publish work ?

are you online ?

Guillermo Mosse

Hey!

2. Of course they can, but they shouldn't be expected to

neraj

so the idea is - we have a basic course on game theory

Guillermo Mosse

but 1. clarifies it for me

he doesn't actually expect for you to get results

neraj

And the major component is project .

the project idea should be original

for example i make some model or project related to some business competitions between companies

or model related to politics like coldwar.

Guillermo Mosse

are you doing applied or pure maths?

neraj

16:01

i am mathematics and computer science student.

my math courses are both pure and applied

So some idea from your side ?

Guillermo Mosse

Part of the project is to think of an idea, right?

What do you like?

neraj

basically what i was thinking that i work on a project idea which involves some coding component also . If you can hint me some idea... yes

we have to think of idea and also work on it

Guillermo Mosse

Do you know the classical prisioner's dilemma?

neraj

yes .

Guillermo Mosse

prisoner's *

well, once I read that there are competitions where students code a bot that decides what action to choose

and bots then play together in a kind of tournament

the bots take decisions based on prior decisions made by both themselves and the other bots

the bot who wins is the one who got the less amount of (accumulated) years in prison

and it's really fun to code such a decision procedure

maybe your group (are you in a group?) could do something similar but for another game

neraj

16:05

okay ... can i model what you saying related to cold war where decision takes ( bots ) are countries

and taking resources in account

Guillermo Mosse

right, but you should search for a scenario where a decision must be chosen repeatedly

neraj

yes . Just 1 minute

As we know cold war has been ended .

But we know that still there is competitions between

countries having nuclear weapon and great economy

like china and USA

so can i model these competitions in an infinite game

Like country cannot decide to have war and cannot go out of the game also

Guillermo Mosse

maybe

neraj

What's your opinion ?

Guillermo Mosse

I don't know; I just suggested a scenario where you can do some coding

but it looks fun

neraj

16:09

okay .. Thanks .Any other suggest would you like to give me ?

Guillermo Mosse

nope, but I'm open to listening to a concrete proposal for your project, when you have it

neraj

because we need to work on that project for two months

Guillermo Mosse

is it in groups, or you alone?

neraj

group of five people

Guillermo Mosse

oh! then get together and brainstorm

neraj

16:12

Yes you are right.So i will come back when i will find some great project idea .So thanks for giving your time .So we end the discussion here ?

Any way thanks Guillermo . Thanks for giving your time

Guillermo Mosse

no problem!

neraj
