Course Hours: Tuesday, 10:15-11:55
Content:
Differential Games in Economic and Management is a course aimed at Doctoral and advanced Diploma students. The course is based on the Textbook by Dockner et al. (2000).
Participants of the course should each week study assigned chapters from the Textbook and typically prepare exercises. At the course meetings every Tuesday issues related to the assigned chapters as well as exercises will be discussed.
Grading will be based on participation during the course and a term paper to be written at the end of the course. In this paper some dynamic strategic interaction should be modelled using a differential game and some methods covered in the course should be used to analyze that differential game. Papers should be submitted by August 31, 2009.
