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.

Review

"Fudenberg and Tirole's text will have an immediate and important impact on the way game theory is taught at the graduate level. Not only does it cover most of the central topics in noncooperative game theory, it is as up-to-date and complete as a book in this area could hope to be."--Charles Wilson, Professor of Economics, New York University

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic text. Very complete. Well written. A classic.
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2014
Verified Purchase
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.

I was not careful to check where the book printed. I only saw the price. The quality is very bad, it starts splitting off at the first day. I hope at least the content is the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding reference and textbook in Game Theory
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2009

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.

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.

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

4.0 out of 5 stars 非協力ゲームの大学院向けテキスト
Reviewed in Japan on February 7, 2018
Verified Purchase
非協力ゲーム理論の大学院向けのテキストです。前のレビュアーもおっしゃる通り、ギボンズに章立てがものすごく似ている。完備不完備、静学動学プラス上級トピックという構成で、見通しがよいし、基本的に分かりやすい。この本を使うにはいくつか注意点があると個人的に思っていて、章末問題がとても難しいので、解けなくても気落ちしてはいけないことと、いくつかの上級トピックの章は難しいので、他の本も参照した方がいいという点。たとえば、common knowledgeに関することが書いてある最後の章はとても分かりづらい。オズボーンとルービンシュタインの本の方が分かりやすいので、そちらを参照しながら読むといいと思います。

5.0 out of 5 stars DAS Buch fuer fortgeschrittene Spieltheorie
Reviewed in Germany on August 25, 2015
Verified Purchase
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.
