17. Appendix: Mathematics
I. Games with Perfect Information
2. Nash equilibrium: theory
3. Nash equilibrium: illustrations
4. Mixed strategy equilibrium
5. Extensive games with perfect information: theory
6. Extensive games with perfect information: illustrations
7. Extensive games with perfect information: Extensions and Discussions
8. Coalitional games and the core
*************************************************************************
[2nd semester]:
II. Games with Imperfect Information
9. Bayesian games
10. Extensive games with imperfect information
13. Evolutionary equilibrium
14. Repeated games: the prisoner dilemma
15. Repeated games: general results
16. Bargaining
Plus:”Games on networks”
能力項目說明
You will learn
(i) how to describe a game under complete and incomplete or imperfect information.
(2) how to find the solutions and the difference among various solutions,
including NE, SPE, BE, PBE, PE, risk dominant equilibrium, evolutionarily stable equilbirium, the core etc.
(3) how to use these solutions for actual modelling.
