Résumé de section
-
This course provides an introduction to Game Theory and the strategic interactions that arise when decision-makers pursue their own interests. It offers key concepts and analytical tools for understanding and predicting behaviors in a variety of settings—including economics, politics, computer science, and biology. We will explore how to assess and compare possible outcomes in different types of games, then recommend an optimal solution within an appropriate analytical framework. Throughout the course, we will use real-world examples—ranging from auctions and price-setting to negotiations and legal proceedings—to illustrate the applicability of game theory to economic, social, and political phenomena. By the end of the course, students will have a solid grasp of the main solution concepts in game theory and be equipped to apply them in diverse scenarios, effectively analyzing and interpreting strategic interactions across multiple domains.
