Karl Schlag

I have a PhD from MEDS at Northwestern University where I was jump-started into the beautiful field of game theory. A “few” years later I have landed at the University of Vienna. I am trying to do everything to eliminate beliefs and sophisticated theories from game theory. Most of my work is based on minimax regret and related concepts. I have papers on how to imitate, how to bid in auctions, how to cross a river, how to search and how to bargain. Everything without beliefs or a prior. This is complemented with an equilibrium concept without priors and a theory on how to play out of equilibrium.
