The Economics of Bargaining

This collection of articles by economists examines equilibrium outcomes in social and economic environments which possess cooperative infrastructures. An introduction by the editors sets out the Nash programme and puts the modern theory of bargaining in historical perspective. Subsequent essays develop the implications of the Nash programme, examining the problem from different perspectives. Also included is the paper by Ariel Rubinstein, "Perfect Equilibrium in a Bargaining Model". A number of other essays are published for the first time in this volume.

Games are everywhere: Drivers maneuvering in heavy traffic are playing a driving game. Bargain hunters bidding on eBay are playing an auctioning game. The supermarket's price for corn flakes is decided by playing an economic game. This Very Short Introduction offers a succinct tour of the fascinating world of game theory, a groundbreaking field that analyzes how to play games in a rational way. Ken Binmore, a renowned game theorist, explains the theory in a way that is both entertaining and non-mathematical yet also deeply insightful, revealing how game theory can shed light on everything from social gatherings, to ethical decision-making, to successful card-playing strategies, to calculating the sex ratio among bees. With mini biographies of many fascinating, and occasionally eccentric, founders of the subject―including John Nash, subject of the movie A Beautiful Mind―this book offers a concise overview of a cutting-edge field that has seen spectacular successes in evolutionary biology and economics, and is beginning to revolutionize other disciplines from psychology to political science.
