It will prove to be extremely useful in learning game theory, although for many readers it should probably be supplemented with additional instruction or a more traditional straightforward textbook.

Game Theory Evolving: A Problem-Centered Introduction to Modeling Strategic Interaction
Temy Chonos rated it really liked it Mar 23, Dennis rated it really liked it May 03, Maximilian LeRoux rated it really liked it Dec 25, In this regard, Gintis and his publisher missed an opportunity to turn Game Theory Evolving into a truly great textbook. Thanks for herberf us about the problem. The problems cover a broad range of important applications in economics, other social sciences, and the life sciences. Solutions to many problems are provided at the end of the book.
Among the topics that have hsrbert sacrificed are behavioral game theory and learning in games with incomplete information eevolving least as dedicated chapters; some of these topics do reappear briefly in other chapters. The style of writing is lucid and often humorous.

Where expert reviewers have heralded the quality the material of the first edition, a reader used to more traditional approaches to textbooks was likely to be frustrated by its lack of a structured story and a somewhat chaotic overall impression. Juan Sagasti rated it really liked it Jul 05, The study of strategic action game theory is moving from a formal science of rational behavior to an evolutionary tool kit for studying behavior in a broad array of social settings.

Gintis then moves on to the more specific topics of principal-agent models, signaling games, and repeated games. This comprehensive range of topics, including both classic game theory and system dynamics, sets this book apart from many of its competitors who typically focus on one of both.
Refresh and try again. An enjoyable book, I really wish I could understand it more fully, but that will come.
In some places it seems that sections have not yet been fully adapted to their new place in the book; sometimes new concepts are used before being introduced, while other concepts are introduced twice. Eric Allen rated it it was amazing Apr evlving, In this problem-oriented introduction to the field, Herbert Gintis exposes students to the techniques and applications of game theory through a wealth of sophisticated and surprisingly fun-to-solve problems involving human and even animal behavior.
Finally, the quality of the problems is simply unsurpassed, and each chapter provides a study plan for instructors interested in teaching evolutionary game theory. No trivia or quizzes yet. Second, the content has been thoroughly reordered as compared to the first version, and nearly all chapters have been renamed. Kevin rated it really liked it May 28, There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
In some cases, I find the choices made in this reordering questionable: Les rated it really liked it Mar 25, Kaisar Khatak rated it it was amazing Mar 31, Michael Swearingen rated it really liked it Dec 06, Daniel rated it it was amazing Jul 16, A first difference is that the book has considerably decreased in volume.

First, it reflects game theory’s expansion into such areas as cooperation in teams, networks, the evolution and diffusion of preferences, the connection between biology and economics, artificial life simulations, and experimental economics. In effect, the book reads like a collection of problems and answers only now and then interrupted by bits of explanation.
Lists with This Book. A minor annoyance is that the text does not indicate which problems do have solutions included, leading to much unsuccessful browsing back and forth.
