Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

At its core, Game Theory is a method of modeling and analyzing interrelated decision problems. A game is an abstract model of a strategic conflict played by rational individuals. The first objective is to provide a basis for both game modeling and game-theoretic analysis. The course will introduce concepts, principles, and techniques to develop mastery in the analysis of game problems. Topics have been selected to demonstrate the breadth and power of Game Theory. After completing the course, the student should be able to
- understand and apply several methods for predicting the outcome of a non-cooperative game model, including Nash equilibrium, rationalizability, correlated equilibrium, Subgame-Perfect equilibrium
- understand the implications of perfect or imperfect information, and complete or incomplete information
- understand simple games and apply standard methods to them and to other forms of cooperative game, and to interpret the results of the analysis
- understand and analyze the fundamental issues of social choice and the characteristics of social choice procedures
