Now in its 10<sup>th<\/sup> year, this conference aims to stimulate discussions and debate among Asian, European and American researchers who are leading the field from all over and outside Japan. The conference allocates sufficient time for researchers to present new theories and basic research so that they can discuss them with participants. Many challenging topics were presented this year, and through cross-sectional discussions, the participants learned about the latest research outcomes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2595\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02042-360x270.jpg\" alt=\"Michal Lewandowski\u5148\u751f\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02042-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02042-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02042-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02042-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02042-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor Michal Lewandowski<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2597\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02059-360x270.jpg\" alt=\"\u5b89\u7530\u6d0b\u7950\u5148\u751f\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02059-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02059-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02059-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02059-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02059-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor Yosuke Yasuda<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the first day of the conference, Professor <a href=\"http:\/\/web.sgh.waw.pl\/~mlewan1\/Site\/Welcome.html\">Michal Lewandowski <\/a>from the Warsaw School of Economics spoke about a new substitute model for the expected utility hypothesis. Professor Lewandowski focused on the relationship between stochastic income fluctuation and preference, and proved that various anomaly could be explained by stochastic weight functions, an approach different from conventional models. Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/yosukeyasuda\/jp\">Yosuke Yasuda<\/a> gave a presentation about competition brought by markets and trade-off analysis on redistribution policy. He shared a new perspective on efficiency and equality together with trickle-down economics, a new theory which has been garnering attention in recent years. There were many questions from the audience about how to interpret the model setting and its outcomes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2600\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02068-360x270.jpg\" alt=\"Yossi Feinberg\u5148\u751f\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02068-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02068-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02068-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02068-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02068-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor Yossi Feinberg<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2599\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02048-360x270.jpg\" alt=\"Liping Tang\u5148\u751f\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02048-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02048-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02048-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02048-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DSC02048-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor Liping Tang<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a presentation by Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsb.stanford.edu\/faculty-research\/faculty\/yossi-feinberg\">Yossi Feinberg<\/a> from Stanford Graduate School of Business, a discussion was held on the timing of when a game actually starts in game theory, and participants shared their ideas and thoughts on the topic using a simple theoretical model.
