The student gets acquainted with basic game theory and its use for modeling different situations, especially in the fields of economics and finance. The theoretic concepts are explained through several examples.
Knowledge and understanding: The student knows basic problems in Game Theory and understands the meaning of the assumptions in each type of game.
Application: Modeling of conflicting situations arising from the interaction of subjects.
Reflection: Use and weaknesses of the description and exploration of phenomena in everyday life with the help of formal models.
Transferable skills: Ability of precise mathematical description and awareness of its weaknesses.
