Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course provides an introduction to Strategic Thinking. An individual takes part in a strategic interaction if her outcomes depend not only on her own actions but also on the action of other individuals. Examples include international relations, collective decision-making processes (such as voting), litigation, war, environmental negotiations, online auctions, business interactions, biological evolution, sports competitions, etc.
The course is structured in two different parts. We shall begin with an introduction to the basic concepts of decision-making and strategy and a brief discussion on strategic reasoning and equilibrium. We will then move to real-world applications.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Grading will be as follows. There will be one written exam (49%). In addition, students should participate actively in the discussions during classes (21%), hand in three problem sets (30%). The final exam will be on June 24th. There will be a retake (sometime in July).
Exams will take place in person (exceptions should be justified).
