Learn from experts in game theory

Rafael Tenorio’s research in applied game theory focuses on auctions and bidding, where he has studied how bidders compete and adapt their behavior across different auction formats. He applied his findings to markets of foreign currencies, financial instruments, and online marketplaces. “My experience has shown me that strategy and decision-making skills matter across all the functional areas of business and society,” he said, “from finance to policy, marketing, and management.”
