• Used Book in Good Condition

Ideal for social science courses in game theory and research methods, <em>Introduction to Game Theory: A Behavioral Approach</em> explains basic game theory concepts--up to and including Bayesian Nash equilibrium--using results from laboratory experiments that examine how real people behave in standard modeled games. Working from the premise that the crux of game theory lies in thinking logically about a problem and formulating research questions based on theory, author Kenneth C. Williams takes a nontechnical, behavioral approach that is accessible to students with minimal math skills.<br><br><strong>Incorporating a wide range of experiments with diverse designs, </strong><strong><em>Introduction to Game Theory</em></strong><strong> is also enhanced by numerous pedagogical features:</strong><br><br>* Extensive problem sets, in-class experiments, and sample exams<br><br>* Numerical examples for all of the exercises<br><br>* Key terms and concepts for behavioral game theory--which differ from those for standard game theory--and a glossary<br><br>* Supplemental lecture material and Internet resources--online games, videos, lectures, problems sets, exams, and experiments that students can participate in<br>
