This course offers graduate-level mathematically rigorous theory of non-cooperative games. The topicd to be covered include: strategic form games, extensive form games, Nash equilibrium and its refinement such as subgame perfect equilibrium, perfect Bayesian Nas equilibrium, sequential equilibrium, perfect equilibrium, etc. Von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility theory on uncertain events will also be covered. Letures will be given in English.
