The lab uses game theory and experimental economics to design better social and economic systems.
AboutAbout the lab
Putting game theory to work for a better society.
The Fukuda Lab studies better social and economic systems using game theory, experimental economics, simulation, and other methods.
It analyzes the behavior of individuals and consumers within a system and considers how institutions and services can be improved.
Research themes include the formation and stability of patent pools, queueing games, factors that influence altruistic behavior, and search and inspection games.
The subjects range from voting systems and security deployment to economic policy and service systems, and students can choose a theme that matches their interests.
Key terms
- Game theory
- A mathematical theory for analyzing situations in which multiple people or organizations act while anticipating each other's moves
- Experimental economics
- A field that tests economic theories and human behavior through experiments in which people make actual choices and transactions
- Patent pool
- A mechanism that gathers patents held by multiple companies in one place so that they can be used together
ResearchResearch themes
The Fukuda Lab studies what safer and more secure social institutions and more efficient economic systems look like. Using game theory, experimental economics, and simulation, it considers how to improve institutions and services.
*Illustrative imageMechanisms for Using Patents Together
For products involving many patents, patent pools, which license patents together as a bundle, are used. Using game theory, the lab analyzes when firms join a pool and how royalties should be divided for the pool to last, including cases with competing standards.
*Illustrative imageHow Cooperation Forms
When people or firms form groups to cooperate, which combinations are stable also depends on what other groups do. Using cooperative games that take such effects into account, the lab mathematically investigates forms of cooperation that are hard to break down.
