STRATEGIC GAME THEORY

Tema 1. Theory of Individual Choice

We will review the essential elements of the theory of individual choice, especially as it relates to behaviour under uncertainty.  

Tema 2. Games with simultaneous actions

We will study game situations without explicit temporal structure (one-shot games). We will introduce the essential solution concepts: solution by dominant strategies, Nash equilibrium. We will also review “games with incomplete information” and the Bayesian Nash equilibrium concept.  

Tema 3. Sequential Games with perfect information

We will introduce the notion of backwards induction and will study several implications.  

Tema 4. Sequential Games with imperfect information

The treatment here will be very superficial. It will consist basically on a general  discussion and  on examples representative of the “common knowledge” idea.
