Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This is an advanced course in game theory and its applications. The goal of the course is to give the students a comprehensive picture of the theory of non-cooperative strategic interaction and relate it to some interesting applications. The course will review the basic concepts such as dominance, Nash equilibrium and sub-game perfect equilibrium and the move fairly swiftly to analyzing strategic interaction with asymmetric or imperfect information. Applications analyzed in the course include but are not limited to topics like auctions, bargaining, voting, insurance and job market signaling.
Assessment and permitted materials
Final grades will calculated as 40% midterm exam grade, 40% final exam grade and 20% problem set grade.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Requirements: Students should have taken an introductory course in game theory as some familiarity with the basic concepts of game theory is expected. The course also requires students to write small formal proofs and arguments and hence some prior practice in mathematics, especially introductory level probability theory will help passing the course. Knowing basic formulas like the law of total probability and Bayes' rule will be extremely helpful.
Examination topics
Reading list
While the course will not follow a specific book, it will use parts from the following:
- Gibbons, R. (1992): Game Theory for Applied Economics
- Fudenberg, D. and J. Tirole (1992): Game Theory, MIT Press
- Mailath, G. J. and L. Samuelson (2006): Repeated Games and Reputations, Oxford University Press.
- Gibbons, R. (1992): Game Theory for Applied Economics
- Fudenberg, D. and J. Tirole (1992): Game Theory, MIT Press
- Mailath, G. J. and L. Samuelson (2006): Repeated Games and Reputations, Oxford University Press.
