- Game Theory

Catalog description

Game Theory analyzes the strategic behavior of firms, consumers, political parties, and individuals in their everyday interactions. This course provides a set of tools to examine the interaction of multiple strategic agents in which the payoff of one agent depends not only on its own actions but also on the actions of other agents. The focus of the course will mainly be applied, although some basic general principles will be discussed to address these strategic situations more rigorously. Different examples, ranging from business and industrial organization to politics, international trade, law, and biology, will be used, showing the importance and usefulness of the concepts discussed. This is a special topics course.
