Organized by the TGU Center for Positive\/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy<\/a>, “the Pan Pacific Game Theory Conference<\/a>“was held on March 9 and 10, 2019 at Waseda University. Now in its 11th<\/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

On the first day of the conference, Professor Christian List<\/a> from London School of Economics spoke about a new choice theory. Professor List proposed a new framework to obtain individuals\u2019 preference relations instead of classical revealed preference theory. In his framework, individuals compare their actual choices with other alternatives in the contexts they face. Such comparison is characterized in their contexts and is regarded as an aspect of bounded rationality. Associate Professor Yukio Koriyama<\/a> gave a presentation about voting theory which aggregates both individuals\u2019 and groups\u2019 preference. He formulated the situations that electoral voters are determined depending of states in incomplete information games and showed one of the equilibria is strategic dominance.
\nAs other presenters, Associate Professor Yanjing Wang<\/a> from Peking University proposed a new formulation of \u201cknowing how\u201d, and Associate Professor Jeffrey J. Kline<\/a> from Queensland University gave a presentation about imperfect recall games. Furthermore, Waseda Associate Professor Ryuichiro Ishikawa<\/a> formulated Deliberative democracy as dialogue games, and Mr. Shimoda, an undergraduate student at Waseda, gave a presentation about core in voting games.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
