>>13988457It can't be hard if it's an introduction course. It's not something you can learn in a single semester so don't expect the class to turn you into an expert. But game theory is great and has lots of applications and research potential.
>>13988501I doubt you'll use game theory outside class if you stop at undergrad and become a corporate monkey. On a practical level, most people already subconsciously integrate game theory into their decisions. You get into people's shoes and realize your actions will have an impact on their actions, which will change which actions you want to take. Game theory is more theoretical and high level. It's the sort of thing more often used by research, consulting, policy, etc. rather than by managers. But yes, game theory is all over the place in economics.
>>13988515Game theory is a real thing and not just an academic buzzword. There's active research in the field and the conclusions aren't always immediately obvious. But it's true you aren't going to learn anything conceptually challenging in undergrad.
