Here are the lecture notes for the last lecture, and below is a recording of the lecture. Remember, email if you have questions, and good luck in the final exam. Thanks very much for attending lectures and giving me your feedback by text, email, twitter, and the old fashioned conversation. It’s been a blast.

A recording of lecture 10 is here.
Also, drop Darragh an email if you’d like to take a look at your problem sets, we won’t be handing them back.
A student asked for previous lecture slides (not the in-class handouts) in the 2*2 slide format, which I wasn’t too chuffed about, but have done for you.
I am so nice to you that I’ve put the lecture slides for lectures 1 right through to lecture 10 into one 7mb file, available here.
That’s right. One, just one, 60 page file, just for you. I like you that much.
Send tear-stained notes of appreciation, flowers, and confectionery to the usual address.
In this lecture we went over the concepts of game theory, Nash equilibrium, Subgame Perfect Equilibrium, solution of games by underlining and backward induction, normal vs extensive forms, pure and mixed strategies, and talked about the microeconomic part of the module in summary. You can look at the notes from the lecture here, you can watch the lecture here, and of course below. Don’t forget to take a test this week. Don’t forget to take the teaching evaluation, too, pwetty pwease.
I’m working on the sound, as I said in lectures. There is a slight mistake in the slides, the payoffs in the extensive form game (-1, -10) and (-10, -1) should be reversed, thanks to a few students for pointing that out, and the attendance at tutorials you’re assigned to is going to come into force next week. Have a great weekend, everyone.

Messing about with iShowU over breakfast (which is why you hear my son asking for yogurt in the background), I came across this visualisation engine for a website as web graph. This is a very cool tool, but what’s even nicer is the way you can watch it evolve. StephenKinsella.net has over 1000 posts over 3 years with loads of uploaded content in the form of handouts and such, so it’s a pretty big graph.
Also, any thoughts on the site? Should I leave it as is, or rdo it again? You have your say.
Here’s the video of the webgraph evolving.

Delicious. Audioboos.
