Game Theory by Drew Fudenberg (PDF)

Description

This advanced text introduces the principles of noncooperative game theory in a direct and uncomplicated style that will acquaint students with the broad spectrum of the field while highlighting and explaining what they need to know at any given point.This advanced text introduces the principles of noncooperative game theory—including strategic form games, Nash equilibria, subgame perfection, repeated games, and games of incomplete information—in a direct and uncomplicated style that will acquaint students with the broad spectrum of the field while highlighting and explaining what they need to know at any given point. The analytic material is accompanied by many applications, examples, and exercises. The theory of noncooperative games studies the behavior of agents in any situation where each agent’s optimal choice may depend on a forecast of the opponents’ choices. “Noncooperative” refers to choices that are based on the participant’s perceived selfinterest. Although game theory has been applied to many fields, Fudenberg and Tirole focus on the kinds of game theory that have been most useful in the study of economic problems. They also include some applications to political science. The fourteen chapters are grouped in parts that cover static games of complete information, dynamic games of complete information, static games of incomplete information, dynamic games of incomplete information, and advanced topics.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I have not seen a paperback version of the book this bad. This is not an MIT press book, but from India. The print quality is terrible. The content of the book is great though.

⭐Although the treatment is rigorous, I find myself reading a passage several times before really understanding what the authors mean – the presentation could be clearer. Useful text for first year PhD course in Game Theory.

⭐This classic textbook on game theory is dense, yet each of its descriptions are concise. Consequently, it is a very complete and well-written reference with periodic reminders when a section is about to get particularly technical. It references the classic works and summarizes their important results. It has a nice index, and its mathematics are typeset very well (which is not the norm for economic textbooks). It’s an easy read and it looks great on a bookshelf. I highly recommend this classic text.

⭐Excellent contribution to my quest in understanding Game Theory and Applied concepts. It gave me clarity as one seeking better knowledge of GT.

⭐If that is supposed to be your text book, then fine. Otherwise, I would not spend money on it. For the purposes of learning Game Theory overall there are many better sources. This book is too old, to my mind.

⭐Classic

⭐This is probably the best reference in game theory out there, and it also does a very good job in explaining difficult concepts. I’ve been studying from this book by my own and I’m very happy with it. I recommend it for anyone who is serious about learning game theory.

⭐Ordered a used from mitp_books. Feels like a new one. Very much satisfied 🙂

⭐After Mas-Colell was my second best friend in Microeconomics during my first year in the PhD, and I’m sure it will be yours too.

⭐great

⭐This is a graduate level exposition on Game Theory, more oriented towards application of the concepts to (mainly) economics. There are examples aplenty and all the important notions are introduced via examples. The philosophical discussions following each important concepts will provide for the authors insight. However, one big minus for the book is the lack of rigorous proofs of the theorems presented. In some cases, the authors do supply some intuition, but the rigor is missing completely.

⭐Wie im Buch beschrieben ist die Zielgruppe “a class of first- or second-year graduate students who have already been informally exposed to the ideas of Nash equilibrium, subgame-perfect equilibrium, and incomplete informations and who are now interested in a more formal treatment of these ideas and their implications.” Außerdem ist ein gutes mathematisches Verständnis notwendig. Wer keine Ahnung von Spieltheroie hat, sollte definitiv vorher ein einfach verständliches Buch lesen um die intuition zu verstehen. Z.B. von Avinash Dixit und Barry Nalebuff “Thinking Strategically”. Ein gutes Einführungsbuch und zum Selbst-Studium gibt es von Osborn (2004) “An Introduction to Game Theory”. Das Buch von Fudenberg und Tirol ist eine Top-Referenz für fortgeschrittene Studenten, PhDs und Akademiker jedoch weninger für Selbst-Studium geeignet.The book is copy from a publisher from India, it is not the book from the picture. I got a copy from public library and differ greatly. The quality of printing is poor. I recieved the book with strong green. In your description you are showing the book from MIT press, not the copy that I recivied from Indian publisher
