This course provides a brief introduction to game theory. Our main goal is to understand the basic ideas behind the key concepts in game theory, such as equilibrium, rationality, and cooperation. The course uses very little mathematics, and it is ideal for those who are looking for a conceptual introduction to game theory.

Why Do We Need Game Theory, and What Does it Tell Us?
Is it possible to analyze a wide variety of social and economic problems using a unified framework? In the first module, we address this question. We will see that the concept of rational decision making is useful, but it is not quite sufficient to provide governing principles. Motivated examples and some history of game theory will be provided. You will also be asked to play a simple card game to see how it feels to make your decisions strategically.

Understanding Nash equilibrium
The basic solution concept of game theory is Nash equilibrium. In Module 2, we try to understand this central concept through various examples and ask the following crucial question: how do players come to play a Nash equilibrium?

Rationality, Knowledge, and Evolution in Games
In Module 3, we will dig deeper into the relationship between rationality and Nash equilibrium. We will consider the whole spectrum of possible intellectual capacities of players, spanning the range from unlimited ability for sophisticated reasoning to absolute zero intelligence. In the end, you will see that Nash equilibrium can emerge under a fairly wide range of intellectual capacities of players.

Sustaining Cooperation
The final module is devoted to the most important and most general message of game theory: rational behavior quite often leads to a socially undesirable outcome. We will first try to understand the basic reason for this, and then see how this insight of game theory has made fundamental impacts in the natural and social sciences. Finally, we will learn some general methods to overcome this problem.

Rather philosophical then mathematical. An accumulation of simple, but essential and interesting reflections on what game theory is and how it relates to reality. Thank you, it was very enjoyable!
por LLJan 19, 2016
This is a very good introduction to game theory having never before studied this subject I have found that the Lectures are easy to understand and flow very well from one to the other.
por LYDec 16, 2017
Simple to follow, focuses on introducing basic concepts rather than the math. Could be more in-depth though. Nonetheless, great precursor to the Game Theory course from Stanford.
por RRDec 24, 2017
i would have liked to see some applications of game theory in politics , it focused sufficiently on economical and sociological situation s but lacked any focus on politics.
por TKOct 15, 2017
Great introductory course. It's a bit light on math but the focus is clearly on understanding general concepts and principles of game theory. Both are very well explained.
por VVAug 11, 2016
This course is very interesting, it helps to understand basic knowledge in game theory) And it's also easy to understand, because of available explanations of material.
por BAApr 26, 2017
Un excelente curso para cualquier estudiante de economía e incluso de políticas y estadística. ¡Me ayuda a reforzar mis conocimientos en Negocios Internacionales!
por SBApr 3, 2016
This course is an interesting course. Game theory is applicable in all the fields. Having a strong foundation in game theory is advantageous in the 21st century.
por SSAug 6, 2017
Very good course for initial understanding of Game theory. The course structure can be improved to practice more payoff diagrams which appear in the quizzes.
por PSMar 30, 2020
it was a pretty fun intoduction to game theory, it will help in predicting patterns in behaviour in people, team and may show you the world of mechanisms
por AJJan 19, 2020
Very good course for absolute beginners! Very easy to understand and relate to. I would recommend to others as well. Thank you so much for this course!
por WHMay 31, 2017
It is interesting and easy to understand. Well, a bit too easy I would say. I can answer half of the questions without listening to the lectures even.
por AAApr 5, 2016
It was a great learning experience! I would like to thank Coursera team and University of Tokyo from developing such an insightful course.
por NWAug 19, 2017
Well and carefully presented. Would like to have had more practice problems and also a recommended text. I would recommend this course.
por SSDec 15, 2016
I find this course a very good primer for introducing Game Theory to someone who has zero prior knowledge on this topic.
por RGMar 15, 2016
I always wanted to know what Game Theory was and now I know. It is something that is a little hard for me to understand.
por RKDec 27, 2018
Great course for someone who isn't familiar with Game Theory. Gives the learner a good idea of the scope of the subject.
por OOFeb 13, 2016
pretty good starter's course, Professor explains information good, hope for more complicated one, less newbie friendly
por SHSep 21, 2019
This course was very interesting, a bit difficult, but I learned a lot of things that will come in handy in my career.
por AJul 13, 2017
I learnt that I could use mathematical thinkings for daily problems. It was a wonderful course that I recommend
