معرفی
Jack A. Fanning is an Associate Professor of Economics at Brown University, specializing in game theory, bargaining dynamics, and experimental economics. His research focuses on theoretical models of negotiation, particularly addressing why bargaining often approaches catastrophic deadlines. He holds a PhD from New York University (2014) and a BA from Oxford University (2006). Fanning’s work integrates experimental methods to validate theoretical models, with recent emphasis on reputation building, fairness in negotiations, and the Coase conjecture.
Teaching includes courses such as ECON 1110 (Intermediate Microeconomics), ECON 1470 (Bargaining Theory and Applications), ECON 2180 (Game Theory), and ECON 2970 (Workshop in Economic Theory). His research explores how obstinate actors impact bargaining outcomes and how trust emerges through repeated interactions. He has contributed to understanding Supreme Court justices’ reputations influencing decisions and seeks to bridge theoretical and experimental economics through controlled studies.
Articles highlight themes like dynamic mediation, fairness in markets, and reputational effects. Collaborations with experimental economists at Brown aim to test theoretical models empirically. No awards are explicitly listed, but his work has been published in prominent journals. Fanning’s research also examines strategic interactions in political and economic contexts, including labor-management negotiations and legislative deadlocks.
