Introduction to Game Theory 1000-135WTG
The basic notions and mathematical formalism of game theory, with a particular focus on the non cooperative games will be introduced and illustrated by selected applications in economy, social sciences and biology. The classical notions of equilibria, and dynamical systems leading to such equilibria (evolutionary game theory) will be considered. Laboratory experiments for various types of discussed games are planned during the classes.
