Description

ABOUT THE COURSE: This is an advanced course in game theory, with a particular emphasis on the role of information. We begin with static games and cover the basic notations there. About 65% of the course concerns dynamic games where we introduce information structures, role of information structure on equilibria, Bayesian games and information asymmetry. We then cover the basic concepts of mechanism design. We do a quick overview of signaling and screening, and introduce information design. As a final topic we do a study of pre-play communication – achievable payoffs and correlated equilibria. We finally end with a few applications of game theory in finance.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Graduate students in engineering and economics.INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Stock and commodity exchanges, platforms like Ola, Uber, Amazon.
