Description: Game theory is a way of thinking about strategic situations. Ideas such as dominance, Nash equilibrium, evolutionary stability, backward induction, commitment, credibility, asymmetric information, adverse selection, and signaling are discussed and applied to games played in class and to examples drawn from economics, politics, the movies, and elsewhere. Some familiarity with the principles of microeconomics (e.g. ECON 211) is desirable, but not essential. No prior knowledge of game theory is assumed.
