Ronald Stauber

Dr. Ronald Stauber is an Associate Professor in the Research School of Economics at The Australian National University. His research focuses on game theory, economic theory, and decision-making under ambiguity. He has contributed to understanding Nash equilibria, Bayesian analysis in strategic settings, and correlated equilibrium dynamics. His work frequently explores how ambiguity and irrationality influence strategic interactions in extensive and normal-form games.

Key research areas include ambiguity-averse player behavior, robustness of equilibria to higher-order beliefs, and applications of game theory to public insurance systems and dynamic agent models. Stauber's publications span journals like Games and Economic Behavior and Journal of Mathematical Economics, with notable contributions on strategic delegation, belief function products, and computational methods for solving dynamic public insurance games.

His research has addressed topics such as Kuhn’s theorem extensions for ambiguity-averse players, trembles in extensive form games, and worker heterogeneity in limited-commitment frameworks. Stauber’s work often combines theoretical rigor with practical insights into economic policy and institutional design.
