Complexity Theory, Game Theory, and Economics: The Barbados Lectures

Complexity Theory, Game Theory, and Economics

This document collects the lecture notes from my mini-course"Complexity Theory, Game Theory, and Economics,"taught at the Bellairs Research Institute of McGill University, Holetown, Barbados, February 19--23, 2017, as the 29th McGill Invitational Workshop on Computational Complexity. The goal of this mini-course is twofold: (i) to explain how complexity theory has helped illuminate several barr...

Fishery Economics and Game Theory

Game theory is an analytical tool for modeling strategic interaction between agents. Strategic interaction in fishery is interpreted as the harvest by one agent highly affects other agents’ decision. This paper is a commented literature study on the fishery economics and game theory. It tends to describe how fishery models using game theory are build up. These models consist of an underlying bi...

Chaos/Complexity Theory and Education

Sciences exist to demonstrate the fundamental order underlying nature. Chaos/complexity theory is a novel and amazing field of scientific inquiry. Notions of our everyday experiences are somehow in connection to the laws of nature through chaos/complexity theory’s concerns with the relationships between simplicity and complexity, between orderliness and randomness (Retrieved from http://www.inc...

Game Theory and Strategic Complexity

14 . 12 Game Theory Lecture Notes Lectures

In these lectures, we analyze the issues arise in a dynamics context in the presence of incomplete information, such as how agents should interpret the actions the other parties take. We define perfect Bayesian Nash equilibrium, and apply it in a sequential bargaining model with incomplete information. As in the games with complete information, now we will use a stronger notion of rationality –...
