Description du contenu de l'enseignement

The course is divided into two parts.
The first part is devoted to so-called “noncooperative games” and concentrates on multistage games with incomplete information played by Bayesian players. The agents’ rationality is analyzed through various solution concepts, capturing backward and/or forward induction. These solution concepts are applied to strategic information transmission and communication.
In the second part, we will first focus on a particular class of games of strategic information transmission, the class of unidimensional cheap talk sender receiver-games, and then introduce recent models on the choice of an information structure by a designer (or principal) for an agent or a set of agents who interact strategically in an asymmetric information setting.
