Game theory has become increasingly popular among undergraduate as well                  as business school students. This text is the first to provide both a complete                  theoretical treatment of the subject and a variety of real-world applications,                  primarily in economics, but also in business, political science, and the law.                  Strategies and Games grew out of Prajit Dutta's experience teaching a course in game                  theory over the last six years at Columbia University.The book is divided into three                  parts: Strategic Form Games and Their Applications, Extensive Form Games and Their                  Applications, and Asymmetric Information Games and Their Applications. The                  theoretical topics include dominance solutions, Nash equilibrium, backward                  induction, subgame perfect equilibrium, repeated games, dynamic games, Bayes-Nash                  equilibrium, mechanism design, auction theory, and signaling. An appendix presents a                  thorough discussion of single-agent decision theory, as well as the optimization and                  probability theory required for the course.Every chapter that introduces a new                  theoretical concept opens with examples and ends with a case study. Case studies                  include Global Warming and the Internet, Poison Pills, Treasury Bill Auctions, and                  Final Jeopardy. Each part of the book also contains several chapter-length                  applications including Bankruptcy Law, the NASDAQ market, OPEC, and the Commons                  problem. This is also the first text to provide a detailed analysis of dynamic                  strategic interaction.
