Good Books: Part 5 - Game Theory For Applied Economists

我下學期要擔任賽局理論的助教,所以需要趕快複習我之前所學得,也需要加強觀念。

這本書是之前周老師的課所用的。觀念以簡單的模型解釋的非常清楚,而每節都以一些重要的賽局應用作為結尾。

以下是我在Amazon寫的評語:

Many
readers have commented on how technical this book is. I agree, but keep in mind,
this book was written for students who aim to become economists, and a certain
degree of technical difficulty is imperative. I confess that I struggled through
the book, and I often came upon huge obstacles. But none of the difficulties
that I faced were due to the book itself, all of the struggles were due to my
own limited ability. But I guarantee, once you get through this book, you will
be able to "use" game theory, and probably even incorporate it in your next
research project!

This book was written for those who wish to use game
theory in their next research paper, and it does an excellent job of it. If you
are only searching for a book to understand game theory, then this book is not
for you. But if you want to "use" game theory, then look no further!
