The third member of our podcast team that attentive listeners will know is Simon. His favourite episode of the last year is “Would you return a lost wallet? – Economist’s perspective on honesty | with Michel Maréchal.”   Michel Maréchal is a Visiting Professor of Economics at the Rady School of Management, UC San Diego and Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics from the University of Zürich. His research is interdisciplinary and lies at the intersections of economics, social psychology, criminology, political science and biology.   “I learned a lot not only about honesty as a concept in economics but even more about the parameters that incentivise us humans to be more or less honest.” - Simon   Tune in: Game Changer website https://lnkd.in/eKwC25V5 Spotify https://lnkd.in/ej495rkA Apple Podcasts https://lnkd.in/eQZPxk7y Google Podcasts https://lnkd.in/eT_vGRWY Amazon https://lnkd.in/dmbkcJJ Deezer https://lnkd.in/eT_vGRWY TuneIn https://lnkd.in/dt58RZQ Wisspod https://lnkd.in/edxwUvwA …and share your thoughts!   #gametheory #gamechanger #civilhonesty #economics #socialpsychology

Last week we shared Florian's favourite podcast episode with you. “Learning from a Negotiation Expert – The Role of 'Tactical Empathy' | With Christopher Voss.”   “It’s great to talk to a negotiation expert from a totally different field to see that our game theoretic approach and his approach of “tactical empathy” have so much in common. There are indeed universal negotiation principles that improve your position in any strategic interaction, be it a hostage negotiation or a business negotiation with your supplier.” - Florian   Listen to the podcast episode to discover what we can learn from hostage negotiations and how those insights apply to other settings, particularly in the business context.   Tune in: Game Changer website https://lnkd.in/dvPSQUgd Spotify https://lnkd.in/e7JEBAYm Apple Podcasts https://lnkd.in/eTAyTMcQ Google Podcasts https://lnkd.in/e8HnKZ35 Amazon https://lnkd.in/dmbkcJJ Deezer https://lnkd.in/e2avY6v6 TuneIn https://lnkd.in/dt58RZQ Wisspod https://lnkd.in/eWjfJY7b …and share your thoughts!   #gametheory #gamechanger #negotiations #economics
