Game Theory

Course Director: Karl Wärneryd

Purpose and content

The aim of the course is to equip the student with a basic grasp of the tools of game theory, as they are used in modern microeconomic theory. Game-theoretical concepts are introduced and applied in examples from the theory of industrial organization, political economy, and the theory of the firm.

Course Administrator: jessica.kihlman@hhs.se

The student should be familiar with the game-theoretical concepts of Nash equilibrium, subgame perfect equilibrium, perfect Bayesian equilibrium, and evolutionarily stable strategies, and be able to apply them to new problems.
