The Vanderbilt University node consists of several members of the Department of Economics, all with interests in game theoretic approaches to the study of coalitions, networks, and more generally, the effect of group activities on socio-economic outcomes. Of particular interest to the Vanderbilt team are questions of the effects of group activities in models of trade, industrial organization, law and economics, inequality, social choice and welfare, and public economics.
