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
by GLOct 18, 2022
Very interesting and challenging... I wish there were more practical/real-world examples to learn the concepts but I was very glad to take this course

Overall, the course was good. Somehow, the concepts were not as clear as the basic game theory course. Definitely more advanced.

Solid through the entire course, good lectures and interesting tasks. Only missing a few explanations in some of the task.

An excellent resource to learn Game Theory, I would say at a graduate level. This course helped me a lot!
