Introductory Game Theory (Sept)
Course Code
ECON 10700 20
Course Description
How should one bid at an auction in order to win at the lowest possible hammer price? How do firms behave when they possess market power but also face competition? Why do companies engage in R&D races in order to release their new products sooner than their competitors? Why do the Republicans and the Democrats almost always ended up choosing moderates as their party nominees in presidential races? To what extent can the veto power of presidents allow them to influence legislative outcomes?
To answer these questions, we study Games of Strategies, and explore how lessons learned from such games can guide one's thinking in everyday strategic interactions.
