Game Theory and Economic Analysis presents the wide range of current contributions of game theory to economics. The chapters fall broadly into two categories. Some lay out in a jargon-free manner a particular branch of the theory, the evolution of one of its concepts, or a problem that runs through its development. Others are original pieces of work that are significant to game theory as a whole. After taking the reader through a concise history of game theory, the contributors discuss such topics as: ? the connections between Von Neumann's mathematical game theory and the domain assigned to it today since Nash ? the strategic use of information by game players ? the problem of the coordination of strategic choices between independent players in non-cooperative games ? cooperative games and their place within the literature of games ? incentive and the implementation of a collective decision in game-theoretic modeling ? team games and the implications for firms' management ? diffeSchmidt, Christian is the author of 'Game Theory and Economic Analysis A Quiet Revolution in Economics' with ISBN 9780415259873 and ISBN 0415259878.
