Game Theory

This course introduces the principles of game theory and their application to analyzing strategic interactions in policy-relevant contexts. Students study key models including static and dynamic games under complete and incomplete information, exploring concepts such as asymmetric information, moral hazard, bargaining, and auctions.

Applications are drawn from economics, political science, and other disciplines to illustrate how strategic decision-making shapes institutional and individual outcomes. By the end, students apply game-theoretic tools to model strategic behavior and evaluate policy problems involving competition, cooperation, and information asymmetry.
