The next two come from my honours course and are slightly more advanced because there are actual numbers and some derivations. The signaling model is on p3 and the cheap talk model is on p5.

The most advanced example that I have is on matching theory which is popular in labour economics and to explain CEO compensation in economics. It is also an example on how you can understand more advanced theoretical models through simulations.
