課程概述 |
This course has two goals. First, to introduce the formal tools of modern game theory by using a number of classic legal problems ranging from tort and contract law to labor law, environmental regulations, and antitrust. Second, to show how modern game theory allows us to sharpen our intuitions and provides us with new ways of looking at familiar problems. The main textbooks for this course are “Game Theory and the Law” by Baird, Gertner and Picker (B&G&P for abbreviation) and “Games of Strategy” by Dixit and Skeath (D&S for abbreviation). |
