課程概述

In this course, we will take a formal look at various environments where a group of individuals (committee, society, congress, etc.) makes a decision through some institutional mechanism (consensus, elections, jury deliberations, legislative bargaining etc.). These environments often coincide with real-world political institutions which we will study with the tools of (non-cooperative) game theory and experimental economics. We will try to critically understand varied aspects of political institutions through the lens of formal models in political economy.  

課程目標
 This course is designed to provide a starting point for research in formal Political Theory and Political Economy. The course will also be of use to students who are interested in the application of microeconomic theory and experimental economics to political problems. 
課程要求
 There will be no exams but you will be required to critique and present papers. You are also required to submit a research proposal or a literature survey at the end of the semester. The grade will be based on Referee reports (30%), Presentation (40%), and Paper Proposal (30%) the details of which are described below.
