Popularized by movies such as "A Beautiful Mind", game theory is the mathematical modeling of strategic interaction among rational (and irrational) agents. Over four weeks of lectures, this advanced course considers how to design interactions between agents in order to achieve good social outcomes. Three main topics are covered: social choice theory (i.e., collective decision making and voting systems), mechanism design, and auctions.

TOP REVIEWS FROM GAME THEORY II: ADVANCED APPLICATIONS
This was a wonderful and very mathematically intensive course, but completing all the quizzes gave a great sense of accomplishment and developed my understanding of game theory and its various facets.
The videos are good, the assignments as well, the book recommended is especially good, but it´s unfortunate that there is no feedback on assignments.
Overall, the course was good. Somehow, the concepts were not as clear as the basic game theory course. Definitely more advanced.
Very interesting and challenging... I wish there were more practical/real-world examples to learn the concepts but I was very glad to take this course
