Robert Gibbons addresses scholars in applied fields within economics who want a serious and thorough discussion of game theory but who may have found other works too abstract. Gibbons emphasizes the economic applications of the theory at least as much as the pure theory itself; formal arguments about abstract games play a minor role. The applications illustrate the process of model building—of translating an informal description of a multi-person decision situation into a formal game-theoretic problem to be analyzed. Also, the variety of applications shows that similar issues arise in different areas of economics, and that the same game-theoretic tools can be applied in each setting. In order to emphasize the broad potential scope of the theory, conventional applications from industrial organization have been largely replaced by applications from labor, macro, and other applied fields in economics. The book covers four classes of games, and four corresponding notions of equilibrium: static games of complete information and Nash equilibrium, dynamic games of complete information and subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium, static games of incomplete information and Bayesian Nash equilibrium, and dynamic games of incomplete information and perfect Bayesian equilibrium. Review: Easy but Entry level - Easy to read. This is an ENTRY level book to Game Theory, but that is what I wanted. I read it over winter break and it helped lay the foundation for me to ace a PhD level Game Theory course. Review: Great Level of Detail - Great book with just the right balance between game theory and applied economics. Don't get it if you really want hard core game theory proofs. There are plenty of equations and some proofs, but the real focus is on how the results of game theory can be applied to economic problems. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #183,060 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Econometrics & Statistics #75 in Economics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 124 Reviews | ## Images ![Game Theory for Applied Economists - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91sgVLeZrRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy but Entry level *by D***N on January 8, 2016* Easy to read.
