One of the reasons was that I went to many lectures which had nothing to do with my study of mathematics. The autobiography at nobelprize.org states the date of birth of prof. Selten as 10 octobre in stead of the 5 october mentioned here. Therefore in a paper published in 1975, I defined a refined notion of perfectness, now often referred to as trembling hand perfectness.

A young mathematician, Peter Hammerstein, who had a junior position as a statistical advisor in the biology department made me accquainted with the notion of evolutionary stability. We worked on applications of the equilibrium selection theory by John Harsanyi and myself, long before it had reached a final form, but we also did research on other problems like wage bargaining in the framework of a business cycle model. Reinhard Selten auf Deutsch Ungarisch Deutsch Wörterbuch. The positions were filled by Joachim Rosenmuller, Wulf Albers, and myself. Moreover I found myself in opposition to the political views shared by the vast majority of the population. During these walks I occupied my mind with problems of elementary geometry and algebra. The international language Esperanto has still an important influence on our life.

Peter Hammerstein is now a well established theoretical biologist. Several outreach organisations and activities have been developed to inspire generations and disseminate knowledge about the Nobel Prize. Therefore it seemed natural to me to try an experimental approach to oligopoly. We both belong to the Esperanto movement and this is how we met. In Germany the Ph. We had heated discussions about Harsanyi’s new theory of games with incomplete information. Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Bonn. When we still lived in the village near Melsungen, I had to walk to school which took about three and a half hours there and back. Unfortunately the results of our research have never been formally published. Professor Reinhard Selten - Wirtschaftsnobelpreisträger 1994, befragt von Rainer Kurz Wir sind in der deutschen Universitätsstadt Bonn. What finally turned me away from astronomy was that I became more and more involved in game theory and economics. I became something like a foreman of this small detachment. The University of Bonn mourns the loss of Prof. Dr. Reinhard Selten. The information is sometimes updated with an addendum submitted Sauermann had about 15 assistants and only two to four of them were involved in experiments. in the analysis of repeated games of incomplete information by Aumann, Maschler, and Stearns were made there. However, I felt that I could not really do work on pollination problems without learning at least a little of the art of recognizing wild flowers. It is our goal to help to build up a descriptive branch of decision and game theory which takes the limited rationality of human behavior seriously. Much later as a young man I left the protestant church and became unattached to any religion again. Reinhard Selten - Prize Lecture: Multistage Game Models and Delay Supergames, The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 1994. "Reinhard Selten was one of the most important scientists in Germany with an international reputation", says rector Prof. Dr. Michael Hoch. Der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler erhielt 1994 als bislang einziger Deutscher den Nobelpreis für Ökonomie. On my frequent visits to Berkeley I also had a cooperation with Tom Marschak which resulted in a book on multiproduct pricing published in 1974. Not long after the conference I became a member of a group of game theorists hired by the research firm MATHEMATICA to work on projects for the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.

In 1965, Selten, Prof. Dr. Reinhard. When we began to do experimental economics at Frankfurt, such a field had not yet existed. Selten was born in Breslau, Germany (now Wroclaw, Poland) in 1930. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. I studied mathematics at the university of Frankfurt from 1951 to 1957. Ulrike Leopold also worked on the application of equilibrium selection theory and I wrote some papers together with her. Created: 27. In addition to this, one is expected to work towards a “habilitation”. After we left Breslau we were refugees, first in Saxonia, then in Austria and finally in Hessia. I am grateful to the Natural Science Faculty of Frankfurt University for the decision to permit mathematical economics as a minor for the master’s degree in order to enable me to be the first one to take this choice. Shortly afterwards Oskar Morgenstern made it possible for me to participate in a game theory conference at Princeton. The only career open to me was that of an unskilled worker. I came back to Bielefeld for the time from October 1, 1987, to September 30, 1988, in order to act as the organizer of a research year on “game theory in the behavioral sciences” at the center for interdisciplinary research. In spite of a lack of mathematical training he encouraged his students to do work based on formal models. of non-cooperative games". Prof. Dr. Armin Falk (Direktor) Prof. Dr. Sebastian Kube (stv. The student movement was especially strong at the Free University, but this was not the reason why I moved to the University of Bielefeld in 1972. I was attracted by plans to create a big Institute of Mathematical Economics. I had a similar experience with Avi Shmida, even if he as a natural scientist is not quite as unmathematical. A student of mine, Rolf Stoecker, who was a promising young experimentalist left me after his Ph.D., joined an insurance company and became its chief executive after 5 years. return Der deutsche Nobelpreisträger Prof. Reinhard Selten, Jahrgang 1930, hat die Ehrendoktorwürde der Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Georg-August-Universität erhalten.

In the early 60’s I had run experiments on an oligopoly game with demand inertia. This enabled me to see the perfectness problem earlier than others and to write the contributions for which I am now honored by the prize in memory of Alfred Nobel. However, these plans could not be realized since it finally turned out that the money was not available. to previous page I participated in the seminar and Ewald Burger gave me the chance to write a master’s thesis in cooperative game theory.

Full Professor of the Institute for Mathematical Economics, University Game The problem of bounded rationality has occupied my mind for a long time but unfortunately with less success than I had hoped for.
