The Centre for Mathematical and Theoretical Economics builds upon the Department’s traditional strength in economic theory. There is a focus on decision theory, but also well-recognized competence in game theory, both in its cooperative variant and its non-cooperative version, as well as a strength in applications, like industrial organization, financial economics, or models of evolution. MATE is intensifying its collaboration with the University of Zurich, and expects a particularly fruitful collaboration with the Zurich Centre for Decision and Neuroeconomic Theory (NOMIS).
