- Game theory, including foundational work on learning and equilibrium, repeated games, and reputation effects
- Theoretical industrial organization, analyzing competition between firms and market dynamics
- Behavioral economics and decision theory, particularly self-control and stochastic choice
Fudenberg's recent publications reveal a continued focus on learning under misspecification, strategic behavior in complex environments, and the intersection of behavioral economics with traditional game theory. His work often combines theoretical rigor with practical applications to real-world economic phenomena.
His notable scientific achievements include:
- Fellow of the Econometric Society (and President in 2017)
- Member of the National Academy of Sciences
- Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
