Game theory uses a mathematical approach to study situations with two or more players in which each player's decision influences payoffs of other players. We will start with a short introduction on single person decision theory, and then study how to formulate multi-person decisions problems as game theoretic models; how to predict behavior (through the use of various equilibrium concepts-Nash equilibrium, Subgame Perfect Equilibrium, etc.) of the parties involved and/or identify guide lines for appropriate behavior. . Game theoretic methodology is widely used in economics, and hence the skills learned in this course will be very useful to both those who want to study further and those who plan to look for consulting jobs.
