Certificate of Achievement

Kamel Marzouki

has completed the following course:

Understanding Human Behaviour: Introduction to Game Theory and Shared Resources

University of Groningen and University of Warsaw

This course explored the challenges that are typical for shared goods and resources. It introduced the problem of a conflict between individual rationality and social optimality. The course also introduced some basic concepts of game theory and computational modelling. The mechanisms that underlie problems related to sharing and cooperating were investigated with the help of some simple models and simulations.

Transcript

Learning outcomes

  • Discuss the problem of conflict between individual and collective rationality using examples.
  • Apply the basic concepts from game theory to explain some of the mechanisms leading to the ecological crisis and its potential solutions.
  • Solve simple games using basic game theoretical tools.
  • Experiment with a simple agent-based model by changing the properties of the existing components.
  • Identify the opportunities computational models and simulations offer to help study complicated social processes.
  • Evaluate possible solutions to problems related to public goods with the help of computational modelling.
