Optional Assignments

These homework assignments are optional, but can each replace the grade of the lowest quiz or a missed quiz. They are substantially more difficult than the quizzes.

These assignments will ask you to analyze a specific situation that requires game-theoretical analysis and offer advice about the best course of action. These assignments will sometimes require analysis of data and decisions about the modeling approach you wish to take. They are based on actual situations faced by companies, and present the question to you in the same way as it was presented to the companies' own economics and strategy divisions. Write a short, concise response of no more than 750 words, not including figures or equations.
