Happy Easter!
An e-mail I just sent to Sadia Ali at LSE:
I hope you're doing well. I noticed that Professor Larry Samuelson (Yale) will be giving a class seminar on 1 May 2025, and I’d be grateful if you could kindly pass along a message to him. I recently completed a paper commemorating Werner Güth’s contributions to game theory—his pioneering work has profoundly impacted the field.
Prior literature on two-firm two-market and two-stage extended dynamic models has introduced what Guth (2016) succinctly terms a social dilemma. A state in which conglomerate firms competing in a Bertrand duopoly consider jointly optimizing profits under a tacit self-enforcing agreement to deter market entry.

It would be wonderful if LSE could consider hosting a seminar in honour of Werner Güth at some point in the future. Many would appreciate the opportunity to reflect on and celebrate his influence.

Looking forward to Samuelson's seminar. If it's anything like Andrea Galeotti's (LBS) seminar, we should all be in for an amazing experience.
