I suggest you click on the "Reverse Sort Order " text/link in blue in the right hand menu bar (top right) to see clips in chronological) orderEach clip is about 50 minutes. Downloadable versions (see mov or mp4 link just under the on screen viewer) usually have a menu; these are mostly screen capture and coordinated audio, with some overlays of class interaction (voyeuristic, but sometimes a little slow compared to lecture style...) There is a comments box below each media clip - comment away The downloadable video files are typically quite large (80 to several hundred Mb) Quicktime (".mov") or .mp4 files with a larger screen size (640x480) - ok for broadband; Copyright resides in the author/presenter, usually me, but sometimes someone else...

John Fountain strategic,economics en John Fountain John Fountain Continue on with analysis of repeated games: tit for tat strategies, the "grim" strategy. Threats and promises may need to be made credible. We start with a simple 2x2 sequential "threat game", identify the credibility problem, and then see how it is resolved in a clip from a classic cult movie Dr Strangelove, available on a new special edition DVD. Fred Kaplan has an excellent review of this movie here.The lecture ends with a brief examination of the 10 methods for achieving credibile threats promises and comittments from Dixit and Skeath ch10.
