Publisher Comments

Fernando Vega-Redondo's self-contained account of the main contributions of modern game theory and its applications to economics starts with a detailed description of how to model strategic situations. The discussion proceeds by studying basic solution concepts and their main refinements; games played under incomplete information; and repeated games. For each of these theoretical developments, the text includes a companion set of applications that cover the most representative instances of game-theoretic analysis in economics (e.g., oligopolistic competition, public goods, coordination failures, bargaining, insurance markets, implementation theory, signaling and auctions).

Synopsis

Includes bibliographical references (p. 501-506) and index.

Synopsis

This textbook is geared towards intermediate and advanced students of economics and other social sciences who seek a rigorous, self-contained approach to the field of game theory. Its first part covers the main topics in so-called 'classical' game theory. Its second part addresses the more novel areas of the discipline.

Synopsis

This textbook is designed for students in economics seeking a self-contained approach to game theory.
