Very good, with practical applications

Editorial Review Product Description This text introduces the principles of noncooperative game theory --including strategic form games, Nash equilibria, extensive-form games,subgame perfection, repeated games, and games of incomplete information-- in a direct and uncomplicated style that will acquaint students withthe broad spectrum of the field while highlighting and explaining whatthey need to know at any given point. The analytic material isaccompanied by many applications, examples, and exercises. Although gametheory has been applied to many fields, Fudenberg and Tirole focus onthe kinds of game theory that have been most useful in the study ofeconomic problems. They also include some applications to politicalscience. Game Theory can be used for a first or second course. Itpresents subgame perfection and Bayesian games with a minimum of detailwith technical subtleties included in the advanced sections and usesmarkers to indicate the suitability of various sections to differentaudiences. The book is divided into five parts: static games of completeinformation, dynamic games of complete information, static games ofincomplete information, dynamic games of incomplete information, andadvanced topics.

Editorial Review Product Description If you can get a single one-cent bid, chances are the auction will goto fifty cents. If someone bids fifty-one cents, bidding will almostcertainly reach a dollar. If it goes to one dollar and one cent, thesky's the limit. No one wants to be the second-highestbidder. Afterwards the bidders say they spent so much because theiropponent "went crazy," which is a little like saying "thefight started when he hit me back." Everyone has gotten into situations that resembled the dollarauction--where they devoted way too much effort to something notworth the commitment, because the cost of giving up was worse. Why do we act this way? How can we recognize these traps before we'rein too deep? Is there such a thing as rational behavior, and if so,how do we use it to our advantage? Hungarian mathematician Laszlo Mero introduces us to the basics ofJohn von Neumann's game theory and shows how it illuminates suchaspects of human psychology as altruism, competition, andpolitics. Mero covers such concepts as zero-sum games; Prisoner'sDilemma; the game of Chicken (played with cars in Rebel Without ACause), where logic proves that the rational strategy is to beirrational; how to be kind to your lover through game theory; and whenthe Golden Rule works and when it leads to disaster. Mero shows how game theory is applicable to fields ranging fromphysics to evolutionary biology, and explores the role of rationalthinking in the context of real-life situations ranging from doorwayetiquette to the nuclear arms race. He also explains how moraldilemmas arise; how to act rationally and ethically when they do; andhow the intersection of rationality and irrationality inevitablybecomes what we call "wisdom." This fascinating, urbane bookshows us how we can better understand ethical behavior. Customer Reviews (10)

Must Read for anyone interested in math or physics or biology or psychology or economics or mysticism
Great introduction to game theory
Interesting book I. Introduces some concepts from game theory, psychology I found the first two parts both helpful and easy to read. They weren't technical at all, there isn't a single formula in the book. However, the last part is very hard to read and understand. I had to re-read some sentences several times and am not sure if I followed the author correctly. Overall, I would suggest reading the book - it won't take much time and you can learn such concepts as evolutionary stable strategies, mixed strategies. Also, presentation of some concepts from physics and economics is interesting. ... Read more |
