Book Non zero sum Two person Repeated Games with Incomplete Information

Download or read book Non zero sum Two person Repeated Games with Incomplete Information written by Sergiu Hart and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incomplete information environment is one where at least some of the participants do not possess all the relevant data. Much interest has been devoted in recent years to the analysis of such situations. In the economic theory literature, for example: the principal-agent problem; the theory of auctions; signalling (e.g., in insurance markets); rational expectations equilibria; and so on. What are the main difficulties in such problems? First, consider the informed persons--those who know more than others. On one hand, it is to their advantage to make use of their additional information (in order to improve their own final outcome). On the other hand, by doing so they actually reveal this information--and their relative advantage vanishes. Thus--what is the good of being more informed, if one cannot profit from it? This type of conflict is an essential issue in the analysis of incomplete information environments. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a highly connected world with multiple self-interested agents interacting and myriad opportunities for conflict and cooperation. The goal of game theory is to understand these opportunities. This book presents a rigorous introduction to the mathematics of game theory without losing sight of the joy of the subject. This is done by focusing on theoretical highlights (e.g., at least six Nobel Prize winning results are developed from scratch) and by presenting exciting connections of game theory to other fields such as computer science (algorithmic game theory), economics (auctions and matching markets), social choice (voting theory), biology (signaling and evolutionary stability), and learning theory. Both classical topics, such as zero-sum games, and modern topics, such as sponsored search auctions, are covered. Along the way, beautiful mathematical tools used in game theory are introduced, including convexity, fixed-point theorems, and probabilistic arguments. The book is appropriate for a first course in game theory at either the undergraduate or graduate level, whether in mathematics, economics, computer science, or statistics. The importance of game-theoretic thinking transcends the academic setting—for every action we take, we must consider not only its direct effects, but also how it influences the incentives of others.

  • Author : Hans Peters
  • Publisher : Springer
  • Release : 2015-06-04
  • ISBN : 3662469502
  • Pages : 493 pages

Download or read book Game Theory written by Hans Peters and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook presents the basics of game theory both on an undergraduate level and on a more advanced mathematical level. It is the second, revised version of the successful 2008 edition. The book covers most topics of interest in game theory, including cooperative game theory. Part I presents introductions to all these topics on a basic yet formally precise level. It includes chapters on repeated games, social choice theory, and selected topics such as bargaining theory, exchange economies, and matching. Part II goes deeper into noncooperative theory and treats the theory of zerosum games, refinements of Nash equilibrium in strategic as well as extensive form games, and evolutionary games. Part III covers basic concepts in the theory of transferable utility games, such as core and balancedness, Shapley value and variations, and nucleolus. Some mathematical tools on duality and convexity are collected in Part IV. Every chapter in the book contains a problem section. Hints, answers and solutions are included.

  • Author : Steve Tadelis

  • Release : 2013-01-06
  • ISBN : 0691129088
  • Pages : 416 pages

Download or read book Game Theory written by Steve Tadelis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-06 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive introduction to game theory This comprehensive textbook introduces readers to the principal ideas and applications of game theory, in a style that combines rigor with accessibility. Steven Tadelis begins with a concise description of rational decision making, and goes on to discuss strategic and extensive form games with complete information, Bayesian games, and extensive form games with imperfect information. He covers a host of topics, including multistage and repeated games, bargaining theory, auctions, rent-seeking games, mechanism design, signaling games, reputation building, and information transmission games. Unlike other books on game theory, this one begins with the idea of rationality and explores its implications for multiperson decision problems through concepts like dominated strategies and rationalizability. Only then does it present the subject of Nash equilibrium and its derivatives. Game Theory is the ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Throughout, concepts and methods are explained using real-world examples backed by precise analytic material. The book features many important applications to economics and political science, as well as numerous exercises that focus on how to formalize informal situations and then analyze them. Introduces the core ideas and applications of game theory Covers static and dynamic games, with complete and incomplete information Features a variety of examples, applications, and exercises Topics include repeated games, bargaining, auctions, signaling, reputation, and information transmission Ideal for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students Complete solutions available to teachers and selected solutions available to students

  • Author : Jean-François Mertens
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2015-02-02
  • ISBN : 1316060985
  • Pages : 597 pages

Download or read book Repeated Games written by Jean-François Mertens and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three leading experts have produced a landmark work based on a set of working papers published by the Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE) at the Université Catholique de Louvain in 1994 under the title 'Repeated Games', which holds almost mythic status among game theorists. Jean-François Mertens, Sylvain Sorin and Shmuel Zamir have significantly elevated the clarity and depth of presentation with many results presented at a level of generality that goes far beyond the original papers - many written by the authors themselves. Numerous results are new, and many classic results and examples are not to be found elsewhere. Most remain state of the art in the literature. This book is full of challenging and important problems that are set up as exercises, with detailed hints provided for their solutions. A new bibliography traces the development of the core concepts up to the present day.

Book Game Theory and Applications

Download or read book Game Theory and Applications written by Tatsuro Ichiishi and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Game Theory and Applications outlines game theory and proves its validity by examining it alongside the neoclassical paradigm. This book contends that the neoclassical theory is the exceptional case, and that game theory may indeed be the rule. The papers and abstracts collected here explore its recent development and suggest new research directions. Explains many of the recent central developments in game theory Highlights new research directions in economic theory which surpass the neoclassical paradigm Includes game-theoretical analyses in economics, political science, and biology Written by leading game theorists, economists, political scientists, and biologists

Book Foundations in Microeconomic Theory

Download or read book Foundations in Microeconomic Theory written by Matthew O. Jackson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-30 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects papers from Hugo Sonnenschein's students.
