Policy in 500 Words: rational choice, game theory, and the IAD Understanding Public Policy (in 1000 and 500 words)

The fourth of a series of podcasts tying together multiple 500 Words posts. They’ll sound a bit different from the 1000 Words podcasts because I recorded them in front of our MPP students.

This brief lecture is on the relationship between rational choice theory, game theory, the IAD, the SES, and Ecology of Games
