Richard Harsanyi (son)

Richard Harsányi Jr. was a Hungarian-American economist and mathematician, notable for his work in game theory and social choice theory. He contributed to understanding strategic decision-making, particularly how individuals' choices influence collective outcomes. His research helped clarify the mathematics behind cooperation, fairness, and societal decision processes. Although less widely known than his father, economist John Harsányi, Richard’s work is respected in academic circles for advancing our grasp of strategic interactions and social decision-making mechanisms.
