Books in the Theory and Decision Library C series

This book aims to develop an institutional approach to general economic equi librium. Traditionally finite economies have been assessed as the most natural represen tations of real life economies, in particular of market economies.

TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT Investment expenditures of companies govern economic growth. Kriebel, 1989 notes that (already) in 1989 roughly 50 percent of new corporate capital expenditures by major United States companies was in information and communication technology.

Presents an overview of theoretical literature that studies the influence and formation of networks in social and economic situations in which the relations between participants who are not included in a particular participant's network are not of consequence to this participant.

Computing Equilibria and Fixed Points is devoted to the computation of equilibria, fixed points and stationary points.

Finance is a coherent branch of applied economics that is designed to understand financial markets in order to give advice for practical financial decisions.

The purpose of this book is to report to the international readership on the sophisticated research by Russian game theorists during the two decades 1968 - 1988. The book includes a collection of contributions in game theory and the related field of equilibrium theory which never had been published in English before.

Provides a discussion of some relevant topics in game theory. This book contains several research topics and offers the basis for an advanced course in game theory. It also supplies some elementary versions of advanced topics of the field.

This book presents a systematic overview on partition function form games: a game form in cooperative game theory to integrate externalities for various applications.

New models and techniques are developed in this text to analyse economic dynamics in an uncertain environment.

The convergence of game theory and epistemic logic has been in progress for years. This book considers the issues of knowledge, belief and strategic interaction. It focuses on epistemic logic and the representative topics of backward induction arguments and syntax/semantics and the logical omniscience problem.

Harrie de Swart is a Dutch logician and mathematician with a great and open int- est in applications of logic. Members of the group were, among o- ers, Thom Bezembinder (psychologist), Hans Peters (mathematician), Pieter Ruys (economist), Stef Tijs (mathematician and game theorist) and, of course, Harrie de Swart (logician and mathematician).

This book systematically presents the main solutions of cooperative games: the core, bargaining set, kernel, nucleolus, and the Shapley value of TU games as well as the core, the Shapley value, and the ordinal bargaining set of NTU games. The authors devote a separate chapter to each solution, wherein they study its properties in full detail.

Mathematical economics uses mathematical tools and reasoning to describe and explain economic reality.

Mathematical economics uses mathematical tools and reasoning to describe and explain economic reality.

It discusses the main existing theories including the size principle, conflict of interest theory, dominant player theory, policy distance theory and power excess theory. Both simple game theory and social choice theory are extensively applied in the treatment of the theories.
