Course Description	Uncertainty is ubiquitous and information about that uncertainty plays a key role in economic decision-making and exchange. In this course, we will first consider how individuals and society can manage uncertainty. We will then focus on how economic relationships may suffer from some parties not having all the information that is relevant to their decision-making. We will see how these kinds of information asymmetries invite lying and cheating. We will also study how parties can structure their agreements to address the problems that such information asymmetries create.
