Games and Economic Behavior

This course examines the competitive and cooperative behaviors that occur when parties with conflicting interests must work together. The course also introduces students to individual and group behaviors, and their consequences that happen when the standard economic assumption of self-interest is violated. Applications of the game theory framework and analytical tools to issues in areas such as politics, international relations, business, law, biology and more will be introduced. Offered alternate spring semesters. Prerequisites: EC 202.
