Economic Theory Conference V
Video
The way agents communicate, collect, and use information is essential for many strategic interactions, whether between co-workers, traders, firms, or governments. As technology advances, the information available to such agents has grown increasingly complex. During the fifth annual BFI summer conference, we explored exciting recent advances in economic theory across these and other areas of research.
