Nominator's project description

In game theory Professor Dufwenberg has obtained the surprising result that in infinite games it may matter in what order strategies that are worse than another one everywhere are eliminated. In experimental economics he has made outstanding contributions to the theory of fairness and reciprocity. During his stay at the University of Bonn he wants to do experimental work together with the Nobel Prize Winner Professor Dr. Reinhard Selten on "Promises and Competition", a subject that is important for the understanding of cartels.
