	Nobel Laureate John C. Harsanyi dies at 80
		Harsanyi was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in game theory, a mathematical theory of human behavior in competitive situations that has become a dominant tool for analyzing real-life conflicts in business, management and international relations.
		Harsanyi was born on May 29, 1920, in Budapest, Hungary, as the son of a Catholic pharmacist of Jewish descent and was educated at the University of Budapest.
		Harsanyi and his soon-to-be wife, Anne, escaped across the border to Austria, and emigrated to Australia, as the waiting list of the Hungarian immigration-quota to the United States was full.

		For his work, he was a co-recipient along with John Nash and Reinhard Selten of the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics.
		Harsanyi was born in Budapest, Hungary and educated at the University of Budapest (today: Eötvös Loránd University) where he earned a PhD in Philosophy with a minor in sociology.

	The Hindu Business Line : A pioneer in game theory remembered
		Harsanyi, who died two years ago on this day (August 9), was not only an outstanding economist but also a philosopher who saw in game theory a means of improving human conditions.
		Harsanyi demonstrated that such games need not be entirely left to chance and that it is possible to analyse them and provide guidance about the probable moves and their outcomes.
		Though Harsanyi was among the select and gifted band of thinkers whose intense intellectual interest is aroused by such esoteric subjects he earnestly attempted to address, with the help of the tools he created some of the human concerns.

		John Harsanyi, a Nobel Laureate and UC Berkeley professor emeritus who applied game theory to complicated social interactions, died last week at his home in Berkeley.
		As a result, Harsanyi expanded his game theory procedure to include random moves, which allowed the theory to be applied to social and economic concerns.
		Born in Budapest in 1920, Harsanyi was the son of a pharmacist.

	Nash Equilibrium
		John Nash can be credited against astonishing odds with making a normative distinction between cooperative and non-cooperative games, and for using mathematical models to support and exemplify his research.
		Equilibrium theory struggles to satisfy academic standards in contemporary social sciences (and economics), which require a double hermeneutical approach (Radder, 2003) in addition to the explanatory method given by the mathematical sciences, by neo-classical economics, and even in the new technological sciences.
		Kenneth Arrow and John Hicks (1972) for "their pioneering contributions to general economic equilibrium theory and welfare theory;" Gerard Debreu (1983) for "his rigorous reformulation of the theory of general equilibrium"

		John Harsanyi died on August 9, 2000, at the age of 80.
		Harsanyi postulated that every player is one of several "types", where each type corresponds to a set of possible preferences for the player and a (subjective) probability distribution over the other players' types.

		The Phantom was John Nash, one of the most brilliant mathematicians of his generation, who had spiraled into schizophrenia in the 1950s.
		When the 21-year old John Nash wrote his 27-page dissertation outlining his "Nash Equilibrium" for strategic non-cooperative games, the impact was enormous.
		John F. Nash, Reinhard Selten and John C. Harsanyi are three researchers who have made eminent contributions to this type of equilibrium analysis.

		Hungarian-American economist who shared the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics with John F. Nash and Reinhard Selten for helping to develop game theory, a branch of mathematics that attempts to analyze situations involving conflicting interests and to formulate appropriate choices and behaviours for the competitors involved.
		Harsanyi built on the work of Nash, who had established the mathematical principles of game theory.
		Harsanyi was also an ethics scholar who conducted formal investigations on appropriate behaviour and correct social choices among competitors.

	John C. Harsanyi - Autobiography
		The high school my parents chose for me was the Lutheran Gymnasium in Budapest, one of the best schools in Hungary, with such distinguished alumni as John von Neumann and Eugene Wigner.
		In the early 1950s I published papers on the use of von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions in welfare economics and in ethics and on the welfare economics of variable tastes.
		My interest in game-theoretic problems in a narrower sense was first aroused by John Nash's four brilliant papers, published in the period 1950-53, on cooperative and on noncooperative games, on two-person bargaining games and on mutually optimal threat strategies in such games, and on what we now call Nash equilibria.

		But just as important, the prize awarded to John F. Nash of Princeton University, John C. Harsanyi of the University of California at Berkeley and Reinhard Selten of the University of Bonn acknowledges a sea of change in economics that has occurred in the last two decades.
		John Nash, who received a Ph.D. from Princeton in 1950, is widely credited with laying out the formal mathematical principles of "games" -- think of them as rivalries -- in which everyone knows what everyone else knows and everyone is motivated by self-interest.
		In the Harsanyi world, nothing need be known for certain as long as it is predictable in terms of chance.

	PNAS Classics -- Game Theory
		In 1950, a young Princeton mathematics graduate student named John Nash published a two-page note in PNAS and his idea, the Nash equilibrium, has become the cornerstone of game theory (1).
		In the late 1960s, the late John Harsanyi, then at the University of California at Berkeley, opened the door for a wide range of economics applications by recasting the Nash equilibrium to handle situations where players have private information (7).
		In the 1970s, biologists John Maynard Smith, of the University of Sussex in England, and the late George Price, then of the Galton Laboratories in London, used game theory to study ritual courtship battles within species (9).
