| Teilnahmevoraussetzungen | Prerequisites: completed Bachelor in Business and Economics The course level is advanced. Students are expected to take the course by the end of their Master studies, i.e., after having acquired a methodological background. This background comprises all four “Kernfach” lectures at the University of Basel. In particular a strong background in game theory, decision theory, and mathematical knowledge regarding calculus, especially differentiation and integration is required. While I do not require successful participation at the above courses formally, I urgently ask you to judge yourself in a self-responsible manner before signing up for the course. |
