Communication in strategic situations may potentially serve a variety of purposes
such as coordination, persuasion, commitment or the exchange of private information. The
theoretic analysis of communication has produced an impressive amount of results and new
insights but also revealed a number of subtle modeling issues. Starting a quarter of a
century ago a traditional game-theoretic approach has later on been supplemented by
evolutionary and behavioral models. A growing body of experimental evidence constitutes
both a challenge and a source of inspiration for theory.
The 26th Arne Ryde Symposium will be an effort to further the insights from
research on communication in strategic settings to new groups of economists and to provide
a forum for scholars in this research area to exchange ideas and results. Researchers
within the field are encouraged to submit theoretic or experimental work.The symposium will include keynote addresses by Vincent Crawford and Ariel
Rubinstein as well as a special
invited session with Andreas Blume and Martin
Dufwenberg. In addition there
will be a limited number os sessions with contributed papers.
Abstracts (not more than 500 words) should
be sent (preferably by email) to the symposium secretaries by April 30, 2007.
Complete papers should be provided by July 31, 2007. Those interested in
participating without presenting a paper should contact the symposium secretaries before May
31, 2007, and provide contact information as well as affiliation. The number of
participants in the symposium will be restricted. Room and board will be provided and paid
by the Arne Ryde Foundation. A limited fund for travel grants is available for
participants without other funding. Participants who wish to apply for funds should inform
the symposium secretaries when submitting their abstract or application for participation.
