I suggest you click on the "Reverse Sort Order " text/link in blue in the right hand menu bar (top right) to see clips in chronological) orderEach clip is about 50 minutes. Downloadable versions (see mov or mp4 link just under the on screen viewer) usually have a menu; these are mostly screen capture and coordinated audio, with some overlays of class interaction (voyeuristic, but sometimes a little slow compared to lecture style...) There is a comments box below each media clip - comment away The downloadable video files are typically quite large (80 to several hundred Mb) Quicktime (".mov") or .mp4 files with a larger screen size (640x480) - ok for broadband; Copyright resides in the author/presenter, usually me, but sometimes someone else...

John Fountain strategic,economics en John Fountain John Fountain Seq games cont'd (4th of 4 lectures): bargaining over a shrinking pie -the alternating offer bargaining game (classroom experiments & game tree analysis), the ultimatum game; using simple game tree's to analyze the strategic issues of lock-in and hold-up (check out to Varian and Shapiro Information Rules) Fri, 12 Oct 2007 05:35:00 GMT http://strategicecon.com/modules/journal/entry.php?space_key=1&module_key=4&post_key=11 http://strategicecon.com/viewfile.php/users/49/4/GameTheory2007/wk0307lecture6.mp4 In this lecture I discuss how to interpret, and how not to interpret, payoff numbers. The discussion uses the simple 2x2 game tree we constructed to analyze sequential games, but it applies equally well to payoffs in simultaneous games. Then we begin to change the games we look at, starting with changing the order of moves in a 2x2 game. A simpler type of game tree can be used to analyze games with your future self - especially whether or not to take mind and mood altering substances, from nicotine through to LSD and cocaine. Note, the Audio got corrupted (due to radio wave interference in a neighboring lecture theatre). It's 90% OK after editing but annoying in places Fri, 12 Oct 2007 05:32:00 GMT http://strategicecon.com/modules/journal/entry.php?space_key=1&module_key=4&post_key=10 http://strategicecon.com/viewfile.php/users/49/4/GameTheory2007/wk0307lecture5.mp4 Continuing on with our simple 2x2 sequential game we now examine in more detail a key concept - strategy- and how to count and identify the possible strategies in our our simple game, then for more complex games..including the stop-go game from the first lecture.!

AFter reviewing some definitions we start by talking a little bit about "theory", summed up in an acronym PDIP (who are the players, what can they do, what information/ignorance do they have, what are their payoffs). Our first games will be games of complete information (every player knows everything every other player does, each knows that the others know that, each knows that the the others know that they know.....PLUS no uncertainty inherent in the game) Then we look at how to analyze a simple 2x2 game using a neat graphical concept : the game tree.
