About the Course

Popularized by movies such as "A Beautiful Mind", game theory is the mathematical modeling of strategic interaction among rational (and
irrational) agents. Over four weeks of lectures, this advanced course considers how to design interactions between agents in order to achieve
good social outcomes. Three main topics are covered: social choice theory (i.e., collective decision making and voting systems), mechanism
design, and auctions. In the first week we consider the problem of aggregating different agents' preferences, discussing voting rules and the
challenges faced in collective decision making. We present some of the most important theoretical results in the area: notabl...

Interesting material, but sometimes hard to follow the lectures.

I'm a little disappointed. I expected more from the course. game theoretic applications are very diverse. Here I miss the economic application of the oligopoly theory. More economic applications will likely require another course. The level of difficulty is not as high as in the game theory course.

one of the lecturers is barely able to explain the material succinctly. the other two are basically rambling and tripping over their own words trying to sound smart. material is unnecessarily repeated.
