Course Description:
Under the umbrella of bounded and theoretical rationality, this course will introduce students to the theory of games and strategic behavior. Our focus will be on the theory of bargaining and studying bargaining games including Volunteer and Traveler’s Dilemma, Public Goods Game as well as Dictator, Ultimatum, and Trust Games. We will explore the role of social preferences and study the adaptation processes that players exhibit in competitive strategic interactions as well as the rationale behind traits such as reciprocity, fairness, altruism, and trust. Students will learn methodology of research and design their own game experiments. |
