The next meeting of the formal epistemology reading group will take place on Sunday (October 30) 6:00 pm in Room 720. We will finish discussing the fixed point theorems from last time. Then I suggest we move to Backward Induction. Here are some works that we might want to discuss.
- Aumann, R. J. (1995). Backward induction and common knowledge of rationality. Games and Economic Behavior, 8(1):6–19.
- Brandenburger, A. (2007). The power of paradox: some recent developments in interactive epistemology. International Journal of Game Theory, 35(4):465–492.
- Pettit, P. and Sugden, R. (1989). The backward induction paradox. The Journal of Philosophy, 86(4):169–182.
