Game Theory

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate, Juris Doctor

The objective of this class is to give you the tools to develop your own game theoretic models. Students will learn about important game theoretic ideas such as rationality, rational expectations, asymmetric information, credibility of threats and promises, signaling and commitment. These ideas will be illustrated using mini-cases that cover a wide array of issues and situations such as inter-personal conflict, market entry, perjury, trust in the workplace, employee promotion and firm commitments, and competition over markets.
