Game Theory of Convention site Welcome to the Game Theory of Convention site. This site functions as a resource for scholars, like I, interested in the game theory of convention. While working on my Ph.D. I have come to realize that the interdisciplinarity of the flourishing field of the game theory of convention has rendered it homeless. Nowhere is there to be found a comprehensive overview of the vast literature, advice on how to get started on this, the theory's development, and the current problems it faces. The resource pages aims to correct this problem. Also, this part of the site relies heavily on interaction. I ask you to participate with any comments and advice you deem as relevant, and in return offer to give short advice on any relevant matter if you send me an e-mail. Also, you may want to join the network so as to assist with such advice to the extent you find possible.     New!!! Join our Facebook group "Game theory and convention"; a network for scholars as well as students. This is where you get the chance to engage in close discussion and interaction with people who are genuinly interested in the subject. Make a facebook profile; search for "Game theory and convention"; apply for membership in the group. .
