Handbook of Game Theory cover

Detailed surveys examine innovation in economic game theory, from improved methodologies to applications in psychology and learning.

The ability to understand and predict behavior in strategic situations, in which an individual’s success in making choices depends on the choices of others, has been the domain of game theory since the 1950s. Developing the theories at the heart of game theory has resulted in 8 Nobel Prizes and insights that researchers in many fields continue to develop. In Volume 4, top scholars synthesize and analyze mainstream scholarship on games and economic behavior, providing an updated account of developments in game theory since the 2002 publication of Volume 3, which only covers work through the mid 1990s.

"...Presents coherent summaries of subjects in game theory... Makes details about game theory accessible to scholars in fields outside economics..."- Zentralblatt MATH "Volume 4 of the Handbook of Game Theory is a remarkable collection of exceptional review articles on the most active areas in this rapidly growing field. It will be an essential reference for researchers in this area, and a high-level but accessible tour d'horizon for other scholars." --Vincent Crawford, All Souls College, Oxford University, and University of California, San Diego "This handbook offers complete updates on the most-exciting recent developments in areas such as networks, reputation, dynamics, auctions, epistemology, computational complexity, ambiguity and expert testing; and it is written by leading game theorists such as Dekel, Jackson, Karni, Laraki, Mailath, Marinacci, Nisan, Olszewski, Papadimitriou, Samuelson, Siniscalchi, Sorin, Vohra, Young and Zamir. It should be read by any theorist who wants to keep up with the current, rapidly evolving research in game theory" --Ehud Kalai, Northwestern University "Game Theory is a most active and constantly expanding field. Young and Zamir, top game theorists, have selected world-leading specialists to provide excellent surveys of most relevant topics in recent theoretical research in game theory and its applications." --Sergiu Hart, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
