ECON 35 Games and Economic Behavior

Game theory is the study of decisions made in strategic settings.  The course introduces equilibrium concepts solving the infinite-regress problem (A’s decision depends on B’s which depends on A’s, and so forth) in increasingly complex environments.  A wealth of social-science applications are considered ranging from business competition to terrorism as well as lighter applications to sports and games.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
