The course covers single-person and multi-person decision analysis. The analysis of single person decision making focuses on choice under uncertainty and the expected utility theorem. Multi-person decisions are analysed in the contexts of non-cooperative and cooperative game theory. We study various models of equilibrium, which correspond to different ways that the agents might make their decisions, and various kinds of games--static games, dynamic games, and games of incomplete information. Some computational aspects of equilibrium and solution concepts are also presented.
