  Charles Holt's Research in Experimental Economics and Game Theory
Each of the games considered has one set of parameters (the "treasure treatment") for which the Nash equilibrium predicts very well, but a change in a payoff parameter that does not alter the Nash equilibrium causes a large shift in observed behavior in a parallel "contradiction treatment." Moreover, these contradictions of theory are intuitive.
In game theory, a potential function is a mathematical formula that is positively related to individual players' payoffs: when a change in a player's own decision raises that player's payoff, then this change necessarily raises the value of the potential function by the same amount, and vice versa for decreases.
Game theory is the closest thing to a unifying theory in social science, and it evokes some of the strongest antagonism as well.

 Case Study: International Trade Game (Economics Network)
The game is fun to play; it needs no computing facilities and uses only very basic equipment, such as scissors, pencils, rulers and paper; preparing the materials for the game usually takes about 20-30 minutes and, except for paper, all the materials used for the game can be reused.
The dynamic of the game requires that there is no preamble explaining the purpose of the game and certainly no summary from the lecturer explaining what the game is supposed to illustrate.
The game leader then goes to one (or both) of the rich or middle-income countries and informs them that the value of a standard shape is trebled if it has a coloured shape attached to it and that one of the low-income countries possesses coloured shapes.

 Grumpy Gamer
Game players are always screaming about wanting lower prices, but the truth is, if you lower the price too far, people stop buying it (unless it's a high profile game).
Games journalists may be fickle fools who mark down a game because it installs on less than 200 CDs, but apart from the tragic FPS fans, most people dont care.
Concerning modern 3D games that may or may not do a good job of incorporating adventure-game elements: one reason I like the Silent Hill series a lot, despite the mostly crappy combat, is that they do the best job I've seen of including classic adventure gameplay in the context of a different genre (survival-horror).

 Economics (Bowdoin)
Economics is one of the most versatile and useful majors because it hones your analytic and critical thinking abilities while you learn about the global economy - an international system which results from the aggregation of practical decisions made by households, firms and governments in our nation and abroad.
The major provides an opportunity to study economics as a social science with a core theory and to study the process of drawing inferences from data and historical evidence.
Although economics is a popular field and some 250 students each year complete these introductory courses, class size is no larger than forty.

 Mises Economics Blog: game theory debate
In some ways, I think my knowledge of transfer functions has improved my understanding of economic phenomena in ways that other mathematical constructs cannot, since a fundamental property of transfer functions is that their response to a given input varies over time.
If Cowen's defense of game theory were valid, then it would be reasonable for me to say "the strongest argument for including the mathematics of transfer functions (and the attendant mathematics of differential equations, LaPlace transforms, and Heaviside's operational calculus) into an education in economics is simply to chat with someone who doesn't know any".
