Popularized by movies such as "A Beautiful Mind", game theory is the mathematical modeling of strategic interaction among rational (and irrational) agents. Over four weeks of lectures, this advanced course considers how to design interactions between agents in order to achieve good social outcomes. Three main topics are covered: social choice theory (i.e., collective decision making and voting systems), mechanism design, and auctions.

TOP REVIEWS FROM GAME THEORY II: ADVANCED APPLICATIONS
I have been grateful to be part of both Game Theory I and II, thank you for all this was very helpful for my career
A lot of the important results were covered but sometimes results came out of nowhere (for example with optimal auctions and virtual valuations).
Outstanding course on Game Theory. Provides excellent mathematical and logical treatment of the concepts and theory. A perfect stepping stone for researchers willing to pursue their research in Gam
Overall, the course was good. Somehow, the concepts were not as clear as the basic game theory course. Definitely more advanced.
