Evolutionary Stability: Cooperation, Mutation, and Equilibrium in Game Theory - Lecture 11
Offered By: Yale University via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intersection of game theory and evolution in this 72-minute lecture from Yale University's Game Theory course. Delve into the concept of evolutionary stability and its relationship to economic principles like domination and Nash equilibrium. Examine evolutionarily stable strategies through examples and discussions, and learn why they are always Nash equilibria but not vice versa. Gain insights into how biological concepts apply to economic theory, with a focus on cooperation, mutation, and equilibrium. Note that there is a notation error in the informal argument presented near the end of the lecture, with supplemental notes providing a more formal explanation.
