Aumann

Robert J. Aumann and Thomas C. Schelling were awarded the 2007 Economics Prize "for having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis".

While Aumann was awarded for theoretical work, Schelling was awarded for his creative application of game theory to important social, political and economic problems.

Around the time that Trivers made his contribution, another key insight into the game had come from the Israeli mathematician Robert J. Aumann, who had advised on cold war arms control negotiations in the 1960s and would go on to share the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2005.

The shared Prizes in the theory of information economics to Vickrey and Mirrlees, the shared prize in economic psychology and experimental economics to Kahneman and Smith, and the shared price in game theory to Aumann and Schelling were of a similar nature.

Aumann named this insight the “folk theorem”—one that had circulated by word of mouth and, like so many folk songs, has no original author and has been embellished by many people.

But Aumann showed that peaceful cooperation can emerge in a repeated game, even when the players have strong short-term conflicting interests.

Robert Aumann was the first to make a comprehensive formal analysis of so-called infinitely repeated games, emphasizing what types of outcomes can be upheld over time in the context of long-run economic relations.
