Inhalt	The course develops the analysis for non-cooperative strategic situations and games if information is incomplete. Under incomplete information, players are uncertain about some parameters in a game. Usually, it is that some players’ types are not common knowledge. To account for incomplete information, the further development mainly consists in modifying the Nash equilibrium concept. However, this development may fail to provide a unique solution to the game. This indeterminacy in games under incomplete information results in further refinements for the Nash equilibrium.
Lernziele	The course has three objectives. First objective is to learn the main concepts to deal with incomplete information. As second objective, the course enables you to read original literature involving incomplete information. Third objective is to further improve the understanding for strategic situations and to further improve the application of game theory.
