Strategic Interaction, Bargaining & Cooperation¶

Human Worlds

What you will develop¶

Formalize strategic situations, predict changed incentives/information, and state where the model fails.

Before you begin¶

Recorded prerequisites:

• Social Evidence, Interpretation & Comparative Method
• Interaction, Identity, Norms & Influence

Study and practice¶

This is a study outline. A complete practice sequence is not yet available.

• games
• incentives
• information
• signaling
• commitment
• bargaining
• repeated interaction
• trust
• reciprocity

Preferences, incentives & strategic form¶

Reconstruct the mechanism, apply it to an unseen case, produce a counterexample/boundary, identify evidence, and defend under changed assumptions.

Information, signals & screening¶

Reconstruct the mechanism, apply it to an unseen case, produce a counterexample/boundary, identify evidence, and defend under changed assumptions.

Bargaining, commitment & outside options¶

Reconstruct the mechanism, apply it to an unseen case, produce a counterexample/boundary, identify evidence, and defend under changed assumptions.

Repeated interaction, trust & reciprocity¶

Reconstruct the mechanism, apply it to an unseen case, produce a counterexample/boundary, identify evidence, and defend under changed assumptions.

Intended demonstration¶

Formalization + perturbation + adversarial defense

This describes the intended standard, not a validated assessment or a claim of mastery.

Reading options¶

Assigned readings, where available, appear in the practice sequence above. These additional recommendations are not all required reading.
