This project investigated game theory, informational economics, and mechanism design from the viewpoint of rational and behavioral motives. In real situations and experimental studies, we can often observe that the economic agents behave in the inconsistent manner from the pure self-interest. In these situations, we can sometimes find out behavioral patterns that are predictable. it is quite important to clarify these behavioral patterns and provide theoretical models that are compatible with the behavioral patterns. Based on these backgrounds, this projects studies various important research fields that are relevant to the behavioral aspects of economic agents, such as behavioral implementation with social influence, bubbles and crashes with behavioral noise traders, bargaining with uncertain R&D investments, long-term relationship with reciprocal motives.
