Hidden games : the surprising power of game theory to explain irrational human behaviour

by Moshe Hoffman, Erez Yoeli

This work applies game theory to explain seemingly irrational human behaviours, including altruism and social norms. It identifies hidden incentives that bridge the gap between classical and behavioural economics to analyse the underlying logic of human actions.
