CEEC 0905 - An Introduction to Game Theory

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

The award-winning film “A Beautiful Mind” introduced many people to the life of the Nobel Prize winning economist John Nash, but what about the theory that won him the Nobel Prize? Any strategic situation in which the decision for one person depends on the actions take by another is termed a "game" by economists, and a Nash Equilibrium is the basic building block of most of modern Game Theory. This theory is what people today are increasingly using to analyze strategic interactions across many different settings including, but not limited to, economics, finance, marketing, management and politics.
