| Make-up exam/re-exam |
Same examination form as the ordinary exam
If the number of registered candidates for the make-up
examination/re-take examination warrants that it may most

| Course content and structure |
|
The course concerns topics related to cooperative and
non-cooperative behaviors as analyzed and formalized by the game
theory literature. We also analyze the possible solutions
to non-cooperative behaviors, both within and outside the
legal system (i.e., social norms). Furthermore, the focus is on the
empirical analysis of game theory models. We use several papers to
provide a broad range of applications.
The course will shed lights on how strategic considerations and
quantitative methods complement each other in business
decisions.
