  • Strategic form games: pure and mixed strategies, dominant and dominated strate-gies, rationalizable strategies, Nash equilibrium
  • Extensive form games: sequential rationality, backward induction, sub-game per-fect equilibrium, sequential equilibrium
  • Dynamic games of complete information: bargaining games, repeated games
  • Games of incomplete information: Bayesian Nash equilibrium, perfect Bayesian equilibrium

The students should become familiar with the central concepts of non-cooperative game theory and they should learn how to apply those in microeconomic applications. After this course they should be able to read research articles that use game theory as the method of analysis.
