Description

Sometimes numbers are... weird. Benford's Law is a favorite example of this for us--it's a law that governs the distribution of the first digit in certain types of numbers. As it turns out, if you're looking up the length of a river, the population of a country, the price of a stock... not all first digits are created equal.

Roberts pushes back and the conversation concludes with a discussion of how to assess the reliability of findings in controversial public policy areas. by EconTalk

Rubinstein on Game Theory and Behavioral Economics: Ariel Rubinstein talks with host Russ Roberts about the state of game theory and behavioral economics, two recently influential areas of economics. Drawing on his Afterword for the 60th anniversary edition of Von Neumann and Morgenstern's Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, he argues that game theory's successes have been quite limited. Rubinstein, himself a game theorist, argues that game theory is unable to yield testable predictions or solutions to public policy problems. He argues that game theorists have a natural incentive to exaggerate its usefulness. In the area of behavioral economics, Rubinstein argues that the experimental results (which often draw on game theory) are too often done in ways that are not rigorous. The conversation concludes with a plea for honesty about what economics can and cannot do. by EconTalk
