It is unique among game theory texts in offering a clear, formal introduction to standard game theory while incorporating evidence from experimental data and introducing recent behavioral models. Students will not only learn about incentives, how to represent situations as games, and what agents “should” do in these situations, but they will also be presented with evidence that either confirms the theoretical assumptions or suggests a way in which the theory might be updated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEach chapter begins with a motivating example that can be run as an experiment and ends with a discussion of the behavior in the example.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eParts I–IV cover the fundamental “nuts and bolts” of any introductory game theory course, including the theory of games, simple games with simultaneous decision making by players, sequential move games, and incomplete information in simultaneous and sequential move games.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eParts V–VII apply the tools developed in previous sections to bargaining, cooperative game theory, market design, social dilemmas, and social choice and voting.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart VIII offers a more in-depth discussion of behavioral game theory models including evolutionary and psychological game theory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstructor resources include solutions to end-of-chapter exercises, worksheets for running each chapter's experimental games using pencil and paper, and the oTree codes for running the games online.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003ePreface xvii\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xxi\u003cbr\u003eI Introduction to the Theory of Games \u003cbr\u003e1 Games of Strategy 3\u003cbr\u003e2 Game Representations 19\u003cbr\u003eII Solving Games \u003cbr\u003e3 Dominated Strategies 41\u003cbr\u003e4 Equilibrium 65\u003cbr\u003e5 Mixed Strategies 85\u003cbr\u003e6 Equilibrium in Nonmatrix Games 107\u003cbr\u003e7 Equilibrium Selection 137\u003cbr\u003eIII Analyzing Sequential-Move Games\u003cbr\u003e8 Subgame Perfection 161\u003cbr\u003e9 Finitely Repeated Games 183\u003cbr\u003e10 Infinitely Repeated Games 205\u003cbr\u003eIV Incomplete Information\u003cbr\u003e11 Simultaneous Games of Incomplete Information 225\u003cbr\u003e12 Signaling: Sequential Games of Incomplete Information 245\u003cbr\u003e13 Auctions 277\u003cbr\u003eV Bargaining and Cooperative Game Theory \u003cbr\u003e14 Non-cooperative Bargaining 307\u003cbr\u003e15 Cooperative Bargaining 331\u003cbr\u003e16 Cooperative Game Theory 347\u003cbr\u003e17 Matching Market Design 371\u003cbr\u003eVI Social Dilemmas\u003cbr\u003e18 Social Dilemmas 397\u003cbr\u003e19 Public Goods 411\u003cbr\u003e20 Common Pool Resources 427\u003cbr\u003eVII Social Choice and Voting \u003cbr\u003e21 Social Choice 453\u003cbr\u003e22 The Paradox of Voting 491\u003cbr\u003e23 Voting with Private Information 511\u003cbr\u003eVIII Behavioral Extensions of Standard Theory \u003cbr\u003e24 Belief-Based Learning 533\u003cbr\u003e25 Evolutionary Game Theory 545\u003cbr\u003e26 Quantal Response Equilibrium 575\u003cbr\u003e27 Level-\u003ci\u003ek \u003c\/i\u003eReasoning 597\u003cbr\u003e28 Psychological Game Theory 619\u003cbr\u003eAppendix 645\u003cbr\u003eReferences 661\u003cbr\u003eIndex 679Jeffrey Carpenter is James Jermain Professor of Political Economy at Middlebury College.
