Learning outcomes
The goal of the course is to give students a solid background in Game Theory. Game theory provides a structured way to study strategic interactions and can be used to better understand business strategy, contracts, auctions, voting systems, crime, bargaining, and virtually any social interaction one can think of. At the end of the course students should be able to critically read and understand models proposed by economists to describe the above social interactions. Furthermore, students should be able to describe such social interactions as games.
