Bassel Tarbush

Roles: Tutor in Economics Research at Merton College, University of Oxford. Serves as Tutorial Fellow specializing in economic theory and quantitative methods.

• Affiliations: Merton College, Department of Economics (via University of Oxford)

Research Interests: Focuses on game theory fundamentals, particularly pure equilibrium existence (epsilon-equilibrium and satisficing equilibrium), adaptive dynamics in large games, and applications to environmental policy and social network formation. Explores theoretical boundaries of Nash equilibria in random games and differential fertility's impact on economic dynamics.

Article Trends: Recent work emphasizes large-game asymptotics, showing most large games admit near-equilibrium stability even with bounded rationality. Earlier contributions include carbon tax modeling in production networks and network formation dynamics with overlapping social groups.

Grants/Advising: No specific grants or advisees listed in provided materials. Collaborations evident with researchers like Bary Pradelski, Alex Teytelboym, and Michael Savery.
