040827 UK Game Theory and Information Economics (MA) (2019S)
Continuous assessment of course work
Labels
There is a lecture held by me and a tutorial held by Philipp Peitler (email: philipp.peitler@univie.ac.at). The tutorials are practice sessions relating the material of my lecture. Practice sessions are held on Mondays, the lectures are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.Since we will discuss advanced topics, it is expected that you have taken an undergraduate game theory course. If this is not the case, we strongly advise you to take the bachelor's course first (040106 UK Entscheidungs- und Spieltheorie (BA) with Maarten Janssen).
Alternatively, you can prepare by studying chapters 2, 3, 5 and 7 from the book 'An Introduction to Game Theory' by Kokesen & Ok (2007).In any case, try to solve the following problem set as a self assessment to see whether you are fit for this course.

Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
There will be a midterm and a final exam. Each will count 35% of the grade, the remaining 30% will be the homeworks. There may also be a short written assignment over the easter break that counts as part of the homeworks. Some homeworks may be submitted in groups of two, other homeworks have to be worked on alone. The specific rules are described on each homework assignment sheet. No copying homeworks of others. If you only want a separate grade for the exercises, you need special permission from the vice dean of studies Robert Kunst. These students may not submit the homeworks in groups, will be given a shorter midterm and final exam. Their homeworks count 2/3 of the grade, the midterm and final only 1/3.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
In both exams you may use your hand written course notes. The course is passed if sufficiently many points are gathered that identify that the participant has attained a minimal understanding of the material.
Examination topics
The topics are listed in the paragraph on aims, contents and methods of the course.
