    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    Course description: This course provides an introduction to more advanced concepts of Game Theory and mostly applies these concepts to topics in Industrial Organization. Roughly speaking, Industrial Organization analyses both the functioning of markets and firms' behavior in markets. This course builds on and is a continuation of the course "Entscheidungs- und Spieltheorie (MA)". Important applications discussed in this course are auctions and so-called signaling games that are prevalent in both business and daily life.

    Assessment and permitted materials

    Mid-term exam (50%) and final exam (50%). Details will be announced during the first class meeting.

    Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

    Students should master intermediate microeconomics and the game theory concepts covered in the course "Entscheidungs- und Spieltheorie (MA)".

    Criteria for the final grade will be announced at the start of the course.
