Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course provides an introduction to Strategic Behavior.

An individual takes part in a strategic interaction when their outcome depends not only on their own actions, but also on the actions of others. 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 strategic reasoning and equilibrium. We will then move to real-world applications.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The grading for the course will be based on a midterm exam (30%), final exam (45%), and problem sets/class participation (25%).
The final exam will be on January 30th. There will be a retake (sometime in February). Exams will take place in person.
