Goals
Participants learn to formally analyse situations where conflicts over scarce resources have to be settled. Moreover they learn mechanisms to apply in such situations as well as the tools to evaluate them.
Description
The course deals with various situations in which conflicts over scarce resources have to be settled. After an introduction to the basic notions of cooperative game theory, we deal with applications from different fields, like common pool resources, (small committee) voting, bargaining, matching, fair division procedures, VCG mechanisms and market mechanisms.
Literature
Research papers and book chapters.
Prerequisites
Knowledge in non-cooperative game theory.
