Rock, Paper, Scissors: Game Theory in Everyday Life
Praised by Entertainment Weekly as “the man who put the fizz into physics,” Dr. Len Fisher turns his attention to the science of cooperation in his lively and thought-provoking book. Fisher shows how ...the modern science of game theory has helped biologists to understand the evolution of cooperation in nature, and investigates how we might apply those lessons to our own society. In a series of experiments that take him from the polite confines of an English dinner party to crowded supermarkets, congested Indian roads, and the wilds of outback Australia, not to mention baseball strategies and the intricacies of quantum mechanics, Fisher sheds light on the problem of global cooperation. The outcomes are sometimes hilarious, sometimes alarming, but always revealing. A witty romp through a serious science, Rock, Paper, Scissors will both teach and delight anyone interested in what it what it takes to get people to work together.
Game Theory: A Very Short Introduction
Games are everywhere: Drivers maneuvering in heavy traffic are playing a driving game. Bargain hunters bidding on eBay are playing an auctioning game. The supermarket's price for corn flakes is decide...d by playing an economic game. This Very Short Introduction offers a succinct tour of the fascinating world of game theory, a ground-breaking field that analyzes how to play games in a rational way. Ken Binmore, a renowned game theorist, explains the theory in a way that is both entertaining and non-mathematical yet also deeply insightful, revealing how game theory can shed light on everything from social gatherings, to ethical decision-making, to successful card-playing strategies, to calculating the sex ratio among bees. With mini-biographies of many fascinating, and occasionally eccentric, founders of the subject—including John Nash, subject of the movie A Beautiful Mind—this book offers a concise overview of a cutting-edge field that has seen spectacular successes in evolutionary biology and economics, and is beginning to revolutionize other disciplines from psychology to political science.

A Beautiful Math: John Nash, Game Theory, and the Modern Quest for a Code of Nature
John Nash Won The 1994 Nobel Prize In Economics For Research Published In The 1950s On A New Branch Of Mathematics Known As Game Theory. At The Time Of Nash's Early Work, Game Theory Was Briefly Popul...ar Among Mathematicians And Cold War Analysts, But It Remained Obscure Until The 1970s When Evolutionary Biologists Began Applying It To Their Work. In The 1980s Economists Began To Embrace It. Since Then It Has Found An Ever-expanding Repertoire Of Applications Among A Wide Range Of Scientific Disciplines. Today Neuroscientists Peer Into Game-player's Brains, Anthropologists Play Games With People From Primitive Cultures, Biologists Use Games To Explain The Evolution Of Human Language, And Mathematicians Exploit Games To Better Understand Social Networks. A Common Thread Connecting Much Of This Research Is The Ancient Quest For A Science Of Human Social Behavior, In The Spirit Of The Fictional Science Of Psychohistory Described By The Late Isaac Asimov.--from Publisher Description.

Game Theory for Applied Economists
This book 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 applie...d fields within economics who want a serious and thorough discussion of game theory but who may have found other works overly abstract. Gibbons emphasizes the economic applications of the theory at least as much as the pure theory itself; formal arguments about abstract games play a minor role. 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. In order to emphasize the broad potential scope of the theory, conventional applications from industrial organization have been largely replaced by applications from labor, macro, and other applied fields in economics. The book 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.
