Year Running: 2018/2019

Description

Game theory is the study of decision problems which involve more than one agent. Given the prevalence of such problems in economics, game theory has become a very important methodological tool in many of its fields, including industrial economics, political economy and international trade. This module aims at equipping students with the core knowledge of game theory as used in economics, with special emphasis on applications and examples, rather than pure theory.
