Description

In the social sciences, we try to understand the behaviour of individuals in collective settings. In such settings, the best course of action for the individual often depends on the actions of others. For example, the decision to dress formally or informally for a dinner party depends on how we think others will be dressing. Game theory is the formal analysis of decision making in such interdependent situations in which an individual’s best course of action depends on the actions of others. This module presents a non-technical introduction to non-cooperative game theory.
