Herbert Gintis
Emeritus Professor of Economics
University of Massachussets

Homepage


Professor Gintis has just published Game Theory Evolving (Princeton, 2000), a graduate game theory text focused on evolutionary and dynamic games, as well as learning through problem-solving. He has also published, with his long-time coauthor Professor Samuel Bowles, Recasting Egalitarianism: New Rules for Markets, States, and Communities (London, 1999). Professor Gintis is engaged in a long-term project on the microfoundations of political economy, and he runs a large interdisciplinary research project, funded by the MacArthur Foundation. The research group is developing extensions of the traditional actor model of neoclassical economic theory capable of handling altruism, reciprocity, impulsivity, prejudice, vengefulness, and other phenomena not well handled by the traditional model of Homo economicus.
