SYLLABUS: This is a course --elective for the Master's degrees (LM) in Economics, in Quantitative Finance and Insurance, Stochastics and Data Science and in Matematica (Indirizzo modellistico-probabilistico)-- which introduces students to the formalization and analysis of decision making in a single-person and in a strategic (i.e., game theory) environment. While the course's emphasis is on theoretical issues, some attention is also given to the application of concepts to business, economic and financial problems. Topics in parenthesis may be omitted in the interest of time.
EXERCISES: The following exercises are very important as practice and verification of your understanding of the course material.
