The course is a primer in game theory that aims to introduce students to the language and methods used to analyze static and dynamic games of complete and incomplete information. Special emphasis is posed on economic applications. Among the others, the course deals with problems concerning business strategies such as those related to the determination of sale prices and production/distribution, strategies related to firm entry/exit and market positioning, bargaining, auction strategies and mechanisms, optimal policy, issues related to agents’ credibility and to the time-consistence/sustainability of their decisions.
