Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
Assessment:Assessment will be based on one midterm and one final test (written tests, 45% each) and problem sets (10%). The maximum problem set score can be attained getting 50% of the maximum problem set score. Otherwise, the score is linearly interpolated for lower scores than that. However, the problem sets are highly useful for learning the material and preparing for the exams. To further incentivize completing these assignments the students can supplement their total exam score by solving more problem sets. Getting at least 90% of the maximum problem set score yields a maximum of 15% of the points available in the two exams that can be used to compensate for points lost in the exams. The awarded points decrease linearly with solved problem set questions so that solving at least 60% of the problems yields 5% of the maximum exam score as supplemental points.Pre-requisites:The course will assume basic pre-requisites in microeconomics and probability!

The course introduces the students to modeling real-world strategic interactions using formal game theory and develops the necessary methods for analyzing the resulting game theoretic models.Outline of the course:
1. Introduction
2. Static games, dominant strategies, Nash equilibrium
Some covered applications: Voting games, competition with market power, congestion games
3. Extensive form games, sub-game perfect equilibrium
Applications: Market leaders and followers, bargaining, vote buying.
4. Static games of imperfect information, Bayesian equilibrium
Applications: Auctions, Condorcet voting
5. Extensive form games with imperfect information, perfect Bayesian equilibrium
Applications: Reputation and signaling games, sequential voting, political platforms and lobbying
