  1. 1. A Course In Game Theory

    A rigorous, self-contained introduction to modern game theory that develops the core solution concepts for strategic and extensive-form interactions, including Nash and subgame-perfect equilibria, mixed and correlated strategies, Bayesian and repeated games, and cooperative topics such as the core and Shapley value. Emphasizing precise definitions and proofs within a unified axiomatic framework, it provides numerous exercises and illustrates how incentives, information, and strategic behavior shape outcomes in economic and social settings.
