Introduction

Gary Bolton studies decision-making issues such as bargaining, dispute resolution, and reputation building, using the tools of experimental (laboratory) economics and game theory. Questions arising from his efforts in this area have led him to basic research work concerning human motivation for cooperation and the nature of strategic learning. This work has been published in economics, business, psychology and statistics journals. Dr. Bolton teaches courses in economics and quantitative methods in the Smeal College MBA program.
