Common learning outcomes
International outlook and global responsibility
This course is designed to introduce students to the use of formal models to approach social science problems. Human action entails strategic action – when people interact with each other, they make decisions about what to do based on what they think they other person(s) will do. Formal theory establishes a set of tools that allows us to understand how they make these decisions. This tool can be extended to understand more complex interactions, such as decision making in politics and economics.
