Course Description
This course covers basic concepts in game theory and applies these concepts to the social sciences. By the end of the course students will understand a Nash equilibrium (for pure and mixed strategies), understand how to diagram and analyze simultaneous and sequential games, and be able to explain how different strategies apply to one shot and repeated play games. The games theoretic outcomes will be contrasted with behavior, including results from experiments testing game theoretic predictions. This course helps serve as a prerequisite for the MBDS Program.
