About the course
Aim
Upon completion of the course the student should be able to: - describe the key concepts of and critically evaluate game theory and its methods - critically evaluate and objectively refer to game-theoretical research - apply game theory in the analysis of economic issues.
Content
The course encompasses the foundations of game theory with the focus on the analysis of various equilibrium solutions depending on the conditions and assumptions made. A large part of the course will be devoted to applications of game theory in the analysis of strategic behavior and its consequenses.
The following topics will be discussed during the course:
- Games in normal and extensive forms. - Analysis of Nash equilibrium in games with full information. - Analysis of Mixed strategy Nash equilibrium. - Analysis of the repeated games. - Analysis of the equilibrium in Bayesian games with incomplete information. - Analysis of rational and irrational behavior.
