Advanced Contract Theory: Course Description
How people come to business agreements with each other is an important issue in the field of economics. Economists create theories and models to predict how factors like moral hazard, asymmetrical information and adverse selection influence the behavior of economic actors. This OpenCourseWare from MIT offers students further education on these concepts. Notes are available from Professor Sergei Izmalkov's lectures on Bayesian games, mechanism design and auctions. The notes cover multiple types of auctions, such as first-price, all-pay and Vickrey auctions, and describe the effect of different auction's rules on bidder behavior. Later lectures address static and dynamic models of buyer and seller behavior. This material can benefit students studying for a Master of Science in Economics.
A list of recommended readings and references, lecture notes and sample homework are offered with this class. To find out more about this branch of economics, visit the contract theory course page.
