Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Microeconomics
  • Statistics
  • Game theory

His primary areas of investigation include Microeconomics, Social psychology, Mathematical economics, Public good and Stochastic game. His research ties Public economics and Microeconomics together. The study incorporates disciplines such as Competition, Sequence and Theoretical computer science in addition to Social psychology.

His Mathematical economics study incorporates themes from Budget constraint and Adaptive learning. Amnon Rapoport combines subjects such as Class, Welfare economics, Inequality and Expected utility hypothesis with his study of Public good. His Stochastic game research includes themes of Social relation, Convergence, Exchange rate and Group dynamic.

His most cited work include:

  • Measuring the Vague Meanings of Probability Terms (382 citations)
  • Theories of coalition formation (290 citations)
  • Collaborating to Compete (251 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Mathematical economics, Microeconomics, Social psychology, Stochastic game and Mathematical optimization. His Mathematical economics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Class, Iterated function and Characteristic function. His Microeconomics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both If and only if and Public economics.

His research brings together the fields of Group and Social psychology. His work carried out in the field of Mathematical optimization brings together such families of science as Queue, Queueing theory and Markov chain. His Public good study which covers Competition that intersects with Profit sharing and Free riding.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mathematical economics (33.02%)
  • Microeconomics (25.86%)
  • Social psychology (15.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2021)?

  • Microeconomics (25.86%)
  • Mathematical economics (33.02%)
  • Mathematical optimization (15.89%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Microeconomics, Mathematical economics, Mathematical optimization, Stochastic game and Operations research. As a member of one scientific family, Amnon Rapoport mostly works in the field of Microeconomics, focusing on Public economics and, on occasion, Order and Tacit collusion. His research integrates issues of Unique bid auction and Common value auction in his study of Mathematical economics.

Amnon Rapoport interconnects Queue and Queueing theory in the investigation of issues within Mathematical optimization. His Stochastic game research incorporates elements of Affect and Economic model. The concepts of his Incentive study are interwoven with issues in Competition, Social psychology and Public good.

Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Experimental Tests of the Separation Theorem and the Capital Asset Pricing Model (154 citations)
  • Learning and the Economics of Small Decisions (79 citations)
  • Choice of routes in congested traffic networks: Experimental tests of the Braess Paradox (74 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Microeconomics
  • Statistics
  • Game theory

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mathematical optimization, Microeconomics, Traverse, Game theory and Social dilemma. His study in Mathematical optimization is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Queue, Traffic congestion, Queueing theory and Operations research. His Microeconomics study combines topics in areas such as Revenue management and Public economics.

His Incentive research integrates issues from Competition, Public good, Team effectiveness and Profit sharing. Amnon Rapoport merges many fields, such as Counterintuitive and Mathematical economics, in his writings. His Mathematical economics study focuses on Stochastic game in particular.
