Subject: [Fwd: John Nash to receive Herbert A. Simon Award]
Is this a joke?
Can anyone in his or her right mind believe that Simon's work was either
informed by or supported game theory in general or Nash equilibrium in
particular?
I would happily stand a drink for the person suggesting the most
trenchant and/or amusing link between the work of Herbert Simon and John
Nash -- or, indeed, between Nash equilibrium and complexity. The prize
to be awarded at the World Conference on Social Simulation.
