Economics 309H - Game Theory, Honors

Game Theory is the study of strategic interactions, that is, situations in which there is interdependence among the parties to the interaction. Hence, you need to anticipate your opponent's next moves and, accordingly, decide on how to act, while also knowing that s/he is trying to do the same thing. Game Theory is an analytical tool used to explain and predict such interactions, for example between humans, animals, nations, firms, with applications in a wide range of fields such as economics, political science, sociology, business, law, biology, computer science. This course will introduce basic tools of game theoretical analysis. The theoretical models will be discussed through a rich array of applications. The Honors section is enhanced by additional readings and discussion materials from scholarly articles and books, as well as additional advanced exercise questions
