Evolutionary
Game Theory, Natural Selection, and Darwinian Dynamics
Book by Thomas L. Vincent, Joel S. Brown
Many topics in natural selection are investigated within the context of Darwinian dynamics
and evolutionary game theory.
All of life is a game. The evolutionary game theory developed in this book provides the
tools necessary for understanding many of nature's mysteries. Mathematics for the
evolutionary game theory are developed based on Darwin's postulates leading to the concept
of a fitness generating function (G-function). An evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS)
maximum principle is formulated and its graphical representation as an adaptive landscape
illuminates concepts like adaptation, Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection,
and also the nature of life's evolutionary game theory.
Game
Theory and Politics Book by Steven J. Brams
Brams demonstrates both the insights and the pitfalls that may result from applying game
theoretic models to the analysis of problems in political science. Brams shows how game
theory can explain and elucidate complex political situations, from warfare to
presidential vetoes. Game theorys mathematical structure provides a consistent
method for formulating, analyzing, and solving strategic problems.
Game
Theory : A Nontechnical Introduction Book by Morton D. Davis
Introduction to important intellectual system with numerous applications to social,
economic, political problems. Offers overview of game theory, then lucid coverage of the
two-person zero-sum game with equilibrium points; the general, two-person zero-sum game;
utility theory; other topics.
Game
Theory for Applied Economists Book by Robert Gibbons
Review
Introduction to game theory in an explicitly economic context. Introduces one of the most
powerful tools of modern economics to a wide audience: those who will later construct or
consume game-theoretic models. Robert Gibbons addresses scholars in applied fields within
economics who want a serious and thorough discussion of game theory. The applications
illustrate the process of model building, of translating an informal description of a
multi-person decision situation into a formal game-theoretic problem to be analyzed. Also,
the variety of applications shows that similar issues arise in different areas of
economics, and that the same game-theoretic tools can be applied in each setting.
Conventional applications from industrial organization have been largely replaced by
applications from labor, macro, and other applied fields in economics. Covers four classes
of games, and four corresponding notions of equilibrium: static games of complete
information and Nash equilibrium, dynamic games of complete information and
subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium, static games of incomplete information and Bayesian Nash
equilibrium, and dynamic games of incomplete information and perfect Bayesian equilibrium.
Game
Theory: Analysis of Conflict Book by Roger B. Myerson
An Elegant and Deep Treatment.
Reviewer: H. Gintis (Northampton, MA USA)
I just completed a game theory book (Game Theory Evolving, Princeton University Press,
2000). I went through virtually every game theory book in existence.
An
Introduction to Game Theory Book by Martin J. Osborne
Reviewer: bookworm (Boston)
I have quite a few game theory books, including the Fudenberg and Tirole, the Gibbons, the
Mayerson and the other Osborne book. This one is absolutely the best introductory book you
will find.
A
Course in Game Theory Book by Martin J. Osborne, Ariel Rubinstein
A Course in Game Theory presents the main ideas of game theory. The text is organized in
four parts: strategic games, extensive games with perfect information, extensive games
with imperfect information, and coalitional games.
Game
Theory Evolving Book by Herbert Gintis
Game theory describes interaction between competitors, helping us pick the best strategy
if the circumstances are understood. We might wonder whether the circumstances are well
enough understood in daily life to apply the methods of game theory to our own choices.
Behavioral
Game Theory : Experiments in Strategic Interaction Book by Colin F. Camerer
There are many books on standard game theory that address the way ideally rational actors
operate, Behavioral Game Theory blends experimental evidence and psychology in a
mathematical theory of normal strategic behavior.
The
Survival Game : How Game Theory Explains the Biology of Cooperation and Competition
Book by David P. Barash
From Publishers Weekly
Game theory attempts to explain the dynamics of life as a series of individual games, each
involving specific moves that take place within a strictly delineated set of rules.
Readers who have never heard of the Prisoner's Dilemma or the Game of Chicken will find
Barash's explanations accessible, while those who are already familiar with the basics of
game theory can appreciate the wealth of historical, biological and hypothetical cases to
which he applies its methods. Though persuasive, game theory as laid out here and in other
works can often seem harshly rational in its cold calculations of life and death.
Game
Theory at Work: How to Use Game Theory to Outthink and Outmaneuver Your Competition
Book by James D. Miller
Strategies for Using Game Theory to Grab the Upper Hand in Every Business Battle.
Game theory, the study of how competitors act, react, and interact in the strategic
pursuit of their own self-interest, has become an essential competitive tool. Game Theory
at Work provides examples of how businesspeople can use this time-proven approach to
successfully meet competitive challenges.
Game Theory at Work steers clear of the opaque mathematics and pedagogy that so often
hamper practitioners of game theory.
Game Theory at Work is the first plain-English examination of the use of game theory in
business.
"Game Theory at Work will help you out-strategize, or at least keep up with,
competitors inside and outside your company."
Like Sun Tzu's timeless The Art of War, Game Theory at Work is about knowing your
adversary as well as yourself.
Everything in life is competitive in one way or another, and game theory has
revolutionized the art and science of what to look for, and how to act, when engaged in
competition. Game Theory at Work studies the use of game theory in today's hard-fought
business arena.
Classics
in Game Theory Book by Harold William Kuhn (Editor)
Review
This volume assembles in one sourcebook the basic contributions to the field of game
theory.
The central role of game theory in economic theory was recognized by the award of the
Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science in 1994 to the pioneering game theorists John C.
Harsanyi, John Nash, and Reinhard Selten.
Harold Kuhn, himself a major contributor to game theory for his reformulation of extensive
games, has chosen eighteen essays that constitute the core of game theory as it exists
today. They will be an invaluable tool for researchers in game theory and for a broad
group of students of economics, political science, and biology.
Game
Theory and the Social Contract, Vol. 1: Playing Fair Book by Ken Binmore
Ken Binmore argues that game theory provides a systematic tool for investigating ethical
matters. His reinterpretation of classical social contract ideas within a game-theoretic
framework generates new insights into the fundamental questions of social philosophy.
Binmore shows how ideas drawn from the classic expositions of Harsanyi and Rawls produce a
synthesis that is consistent with the modern theory of noncooperative games.
Game Theory and the Social Contract makes game-theoretic ideas more widely accessible to
those with only a limited knowledge of the field.
Ken Binmore is Professor of Economics at University College, London has written Economic
Organizations as Games, The Economics of Bargaining, Essays on the Foundations of Game
Theory, and Fun and Games, an undergraduate textbook on game theory.
Game
Theory and the Law by Douglas G. Baird, Robert H. Gertner, Randal C. Picker
A pathbreaking work of importance and clarity
This book popularizes and extends a new approach, non-cooperative game theory, to the
economic analysis of law. For students and scholars wishing to understand the ways in
which legal rules can be usefully modeled as non-cooperative games.
This is a great example of how the rigor of game theory can give startling insights into
outcomes of common situations.
Advances
in Understanding Strategic Behaviour : Game Theory, Experiments and Bounded Rationality
Book by Steffen Huck (Editor)
Sixteen original articles documenting recent progress in understanding strategic behavior.
They reflect an entire spectrum of coexisting approaches: from orthodox game theory via
behavioral game theory, bounded rationality and economic psychology to experimental
economics.
Models
in Cooperative Game Theory : Crisp, Fuzzy, and Multi-Choice Games (Lecture Notes in
Economics and Mathematical Systems)
Book by Rodica Branzei, Dinko Dimitrov, Stef Tijs
Investigates models in cooperative game theory in which the players have the possibility
to cooperate partially. In a crisp game the agents are either fully involved or not
involved at all in coperation with some other agents, while in a fuzzy game players are
allowed to cooperate with infinite many different participation levels. A multi-choice
game describes the intermediate case in which each player may have a fixed number of
activity levels.
Introducing
Game Theory and its Applications Book by Elliot Mendelson
A simple, intelligent guide to game theory, this book introduces concepts from areas such
as economics using applications, game theoretic notions, and research results. Presents
game theory in an intelligible manner for those who do not have a strong background in the
field of business or economics.
Gaming
the Market : Applying Game Theory to Create Winning Trading Strategies (Wiley Finance)
Book by Ronald B. Shelton
First book to show investors how game theory is applicable to decisions about buying and
selling stocks, bonds, mutual funds, futures, and options.
Although game theory has been studied since the 1940s, it has only recently been applied
to the world of finance. Game theory champions garnered the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics.
This theory is used to analyze everything from the baseball strike to FCC auctions. Game
theory is making its mark as a potent tool for traders. A model that enables traders to
predict profitability and, as a result, make effective buy and sell decisions.
Game theory is the study of conflict based on a formal approach to decision making that
views decisions as choices made in a game. Readers gain a solid understanding of the key
principles of game theory before applying them to actual financial market situations.

A
Game Theory Analysis of Options: Contributions to the Theory of Financial Intermediation
in Continuous Time Book by Alexandre Ziegler
Presents a method that combines game theory and option pricing in order to analyze dynamic
multiperson decision problems in continuous time and under uncertainty. The basic
intuition of the method is to separate the problem of the valuation of payoffs from the
analysis of strategic interactions. The text shows how both instruments can be combined
and how game theory can be applied to complex problems of corporate finance and financial
intermediation. Besides providing theoretical foundations and serving as a guide to
stochastic game theory modeling in continuous time, the text contains numerous examples
from the theory of corporate finance and financial intermediation. The game theory
analysis of options actually provides the link between markets and organizations.

Repeated
Games with Incomplete Information Book by Robert J. Aumann
During the height of the Cold War, between 1965 and 1968, Robert Aumann, Michael Maschler,
and Richard Stearns collaborated on research on the dynamics of arms control negotiations
that has since become foundational to work on repeated games. The basic model studied
throughout the book is one in which players ignorant about the game being played must
learn what they can from the actions of the others.

theory, and general equilibrium theory.
Game
Theory for Political Scientists Book by James D. Morrow
Review
James Morrow's superb book provides the best account of ideas from game theory tailored to
the interests of political scientists, which is currently available.
Game theory is the mathematical analysis of strategic interaction. Since the appearance of
von Neumann and Morgenstern's classic Theory of Games and Economic Behavior (Princeton,
1944), game theory has been widely applied to problems in economics.
Morrow begins with classical utility and game theory and ends with current research on
repeated games and games of incomplete information. The book focuses on noncooperative
game theory and its application to international relations, political economy, and
American and comparative politics. This introduction to game theory will be of use not
only to political scientists but also to psychologists, sociologists, and others in the
social sciences.
