Thinking Strategically: Applied Game Theory

Catalog description

This course examines decision-making in an interdependent environment. Often choices are difficult to make because there are other active decisions makers whose choices interact with each other. Such situations are known as “games” and this course explores the science behind these games. Knowledge of game theory will give students an advantage in such strategic settings. The course will cover simultaneous and sequential games, games of perfect and incomplete information, and one period and multi-period games. Prerequisite(s): ECON 217 Corequisite(s): None
