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 microeconomic theory and experimental economics.
