Game Theory in Economics and Everyday Life

In the course of the classes such movies like A Beautiful Mind (2001), The Dark Knight (2008), 21 (2008) and Memento (2000) will serve as a backdrop for discussion on game theory, its application and explanatory potential. Theoretical issues touched upon include: John Nash as a „father” of game theory; game types; Nash equilibrium; discussion on given game types (e.g. prison dilemma). Methods applied: short lecture, discussion, case analysis, film presentation.
