Introductory Game Theory 2007

Lecture Details

We finish off our brief introduction to the element of surprise via mixed strategies by showing how mixed strategy Nash Equilibria can be found in in other 2x2 games. Then we start a new topic games of imperfect and asymmetric information. Here, uncertainty remains a key feature, but different agents have different uncertainties, or put another way, different agents have different bits of private information that might be relevant to the game. We set up a venture captialist example from Kreps Microeconomics for Managers in the latter half of this lecture (for this and the next lecture); 2008 does a better job on this topic.

Youll also find the 2008 lectures - better in some respect - but only 16 out of 22 are edited.
