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. |
