Learning Outcomes:
(a) Bayesian rationality and Prospect
Theory; (b) the literature on experimental game theory; (c) dynamical systems in
two and three dimensions; (d) local stability theory of dynamical systems in ndimensions;
(e) agent-based modeling of complex dynamical systems; (f) dynamical
Markov models; (g) fundamental theorems of evolutionary game theory.
Full description:
The course covers Bayesian decision theory, behavioral game
theoretic data on individual choice and strategic interaction, and the dynamics of
strategic interaction, especially evolutionary game theory and stochastic game
theory.
The Goals of the Course: The student is expected to attain state-of-the-art
competence in behavioral choice and behavioral game theory, and have a hands-on
ability to formulate, simulate, and solve the dynamical systems associated with
game theory.
