Course Summary

This course will give lectures on game theory to analyze the strategic interdependence of people and organizations in society, from the beginning to relatively advanced contents. Rather than pursuing mathematical rigor, I would like to give priority to students mainly to understand game theoretical way of thinking. Therefore, advanced mathematical knowledge is not required, but the explanation itself is quite logical.

The content to be dealt mainly with orthodox noncooperative game theory, but includes recent topics on bounded rationality (evolutionary game theory) and experiments in strategic interaction, and part of cooperative game theory. The participants of this lecture should not be satisfied with superficially describing complex social phenomena, but through active analysis using the framework of such game theory, I want you to acquire a clear understanding of the mechanism of social phenomena and flexible thinking that excludes fixed ideas on social problems.
