Scholar-generated biography
Michihiro Kandori is a Professor of Economics at The University of Tokyo, specializing in Game Theory, Microeconomic Theory, Repeated Games, Social Norms, and Evolutionary Game Theory. His research explores the dynamics of strategic interactions, focusing on how social norms and repeated interactions shape equilibrium outcomes. Kandori's work investigates the role of private monitoring, communication, and learning in sustaining cooperation and efficiency in repeated games. He has also examined the evolution of equilibria and the impact of information asymmetry on strategic behavior. His contributions span both theoretical and applied aspects of game theory, with a particular emphasis on long-run equilibria and the sustainability of social norms.
