| Abstract | The mini-course `Controversies in Game Theory' consists of 5 course units that provide an in-depth introduction to issues in game theory motivated by real-world issues related to the tensions that may result from interactions in groups, where individual and collective interests may conflict. The course integrates theory from various disciplines. | ||||
| Learning objective | Students are encouraged to think about human interactions, and in particular in the context of game theory, in a way that is traditionally not covered in introductory game theory courses. The aim of the course is to teach students the complex conditional interdependencies in group interactions. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | This course is thought be for students in the 5th semester or above with quantitative skills and interests in modeling and computer simulations. | ||||
