Overview Now available in a Second Edition, Games of Strategy remains the most accessible principles-level text for courses in game theory, addressing a remarkably broad range of concepts in a narrative that is both clear and compelling. Using resonant real-world examples, the authors simplify difficult theoretic ideas, helping students see the value of strategic thinking in a variety of situations. The text has been carefully updated for this Second Edition, including thorough revisions of the sections on sequential- and simultaneous-move games and those on voting and auctioning. This is an inviting introduction to game theory, offering students an engaging, comprehensive view of the discipline without assuming a prior knowledge of economics or complex mathematics (uses only high school algebra). Additionally, instructors will find a variety of useful pedagogical tools in the accompanying Instructor’s Manual, including student exercises and suggested classroom games and experiments. Highlights *Designed for the Introductory Student -Games of Strategy is the only game theory text available that is designed for the introductory student. Norton has the 'optimal sequential strategy' for more advanced game theory courses. In addition to Games of Strategy, Norton publishes more advanced game theory texts. *Extensive Revision - Part Two has been completely revised for the Second Edition in order to streamline and focus the discussion to cover sequential- and simultaneous-move games. *Lively and Relevant Examples - Throughout the text, the authors use examples familiar to students to apply game theory, like pop culture, sports, politics, etc.

Art of Strategy

La teoría de los juegos significa pensar estratégicamente de un modo riguroso. Es el arte de prever los siguientes movimientos de nuestro adversario, saber perfectamente que nuestro rival está tratando de hacer lo mismo que nosotros. Aunque algunas partes de la teoría de los juegos son simplemente de sentido común, otras muchas van en contra de lo que dice la intuición y sólo pueden dominarse desarrollando una nueva manera de ver el mundo. Los autores muestran que casi todas las interacciones económicas y personales tienen un componente de teoría de los juegos utilizando una amplia variedad de casos prácticos de la cultura pop, la TV, el cine, los deportes, la política y la historia. ¿Son los ganadores de los concursos de telerrealidad teóricos de los juegos instintivos? ¿Ven los grandes inversores cosas que pasan desapercibidas para la mayoría de la gente? ¿Qué saben los grandes jugadores de póquer que nosotros no sabemos? El dominio de la teoría de los juegos le permitirá al lector tener éxito en los negocios y en la vida, y este ameno libro es la clave para conseguir ese dominio.

El arte de la estrategia

How can property rights be protected and contracts be enforced in countries where the rule of law is ineffective or absent? How can firms from advanced market economies do business in such circumstances? In Lawlessness and Economics, Avinash Dixit examines the theory of private institutions that transcend or supplement weak economic governance from the state. In much of the world and through much of history, private mechanisms--such as long-term relationships, arbitration, social networks to disseminate information and norms to impose sanctions, and for-profit enforcement services--have grown up in place of formal, state-governed institutions. Even in countries with strong legal systems, many of these mechanisms continue under the shadow of the law. Numerous case studies and empirical investigations have demonstrated the variety, importance, and merits, and drawbacks of such institutions. This book builds on these studies and constructs a toolkit of theoretical models to analyze them. The models shed new conceptual light on the different modes of governance, and deepen our understanding of the interaction of the alternative institutions with each other and with the government's law. For example, one model explains the limit on the size of social networks and illuminates problems in the transition to more formal legal systems as economies grow beyond this limit. Other models explain why for-profit enforcement is inefficient. The models also help us understand why state law dovetails with some non-state institutions and collides with others. This can help less-developed countries and transition economies devise better processes for the introduction or reform of their formal legal systems.

Pensar estratégicamente es el arte de ganarle la mano al adversario sabiendo que éste está intentando ganarnos la mano a nosotros. Es un arte de aplicación diaria, fundamentado en unos cuantos principios básicos que constituyen la incipiente ciencia de la estrategia. La premisa de la que parten los autores al escribir este libro es que lectores de procedencias y ocupaciones diversas pueden llegar a ser mejores estrategas si conocen estos principios.
