University of Bristol 'Doors Open Day'

Saturday 10th September 2011

As part of Bristol University's "Doors Open Day" Jonathan Grose and Cedric Paternotte helped to organise a game theory experiment.  Members of the public participated in a "trust game" with very small cash payments as incentives.  In addition to the game there was a poster display introducing game theory and its uses in philosophy and economics. The experiment attracted 240 participants. Click here for the handout, What's in a Game?, which includes a description of the trust game.
