Pre-requisites
Knowledge of intermediate microeconomic theory, calculus (optimization) and basic probability theory.
Objectives
The main goal of the course is to present the foundations of modern game theory and contract theory. It also aims to stimulate economic reasoning in students through the discussion of examples of specific markets.
Program
1. Noncooperative game theory 1.1. Strategic-form games 1.2. Extensive-form games 1.3. Games with incomplete information 2. Incentives and contracts 2.1. Adverse selection 2.2. Signalling 2.3. Moral hazard
Evaluation Method
Performance evaluation is an on-going activity as the term progresses and includes: - a midterm exam (40%) - written exam in the end of the term (60%).
