Course objectives

The course provides a mathematical treatment of choice under uncertainty and game theory. We will develop and solve formal models of strategic interactions among economic agents. We will consider several economic applications, such as imperfect competition, auctions, public goods and bargaining.

Oggetto:

Results of learning outcomes

The students will learn about strategic thinking and its implications. They are also expected to master all the tools presented during the course.
