Political Game Theory The following games are interesting because they abstract the "essence" of various forms of political interaction. They are even more interesting when you attempt to formulate (good) computer algorithms to play them. I became acquainted with most of these games at an excellent 3rd yr philosophy course "Games and Decisions" given by John Collins and Frank Jackson at Monash University. Except for Barktok these are drawn from Michael Laver's book "Playing Politics". Primitive Politics - a nasty game where only the "bank" is the winner. Coalitions - an ugly expose of internal party politics. Log Rolling - a game which examines bargaining over multiple issues, also quite a fun card game. $100 Dollar Game - a very simple game to examine cooperation among large groups. Bartok - a very simple Uno-like game in which the rules change.

Second Edition: Oct 1999 Academic Press Ariel Rubinstein Abstract This is a revised version of my paper with the same title published in Games and Economic Behavior , 28 (1999), 155-170. The paper summarizes my experience in teaching an undergraduate course in game theory in 1998 and in 1999. Students were required to submit two types of problem sets:pre-class problem sets, which served as experiments, and post-class problem sets, which require the students to study and apply the solution concepts taught in the course. The sharp distinction between the two types of problem sets emphasizes the limited relevance of game theory as a tool for making predictions and giving advice. The paper summarizes the results of 43 experiments which were conducted during the course. It is argued that the crude experimental methods produced results which are not substantially different from those obtained at much higher cost using stricter experimental methods. My sincere thanks to my two excellent research assistants, Yoram Hamo, during the 1998 course, and Michael Ornstein, during the 1999 course and in the writing of the paper and its revised version. 1.

26. SFB 504 Glossary: Game Theory Offers a brief definition of and introduction to the field. By Aner Sela and Jan Vleugels.Category Science Social Sciences Economics game theory......game theory. An implicit assumption of game theory is that the players, being rational,are able to reproduce any equilibrium calculations of anybody else. http://www.sfb504.uni-mannheim.de/glossary/game.htm

Game theory Theory of rational behavior for interactive decision problems. In a game , several agents strive to maximize their (expected) utility index by chosing particular courses of action, and each agent's final utility payoffs depend on the profile of courses of action chosen by all agents. The interactive situation, specified by the set of participants, the possible courses of action of each agent, and the set of all possible utility payoffs, is called a game ; the agents 'playing' a game are called the players In denegerate games, the players' payoffs only depend on their own actions. For example, in competitive markets ( competitive market equilibrium ), it is enough that each player optimizes regardless of the behavior of other traders. As soon as a small number of agents is involved in an economic transaction, however, the payoffs to each of them depend on the other agents' actions. For example in an oligopolistic industry or in a cartel, the price or the quantity set optimally by each firm depends crucially on the prices or quantities set by the competing firms. Similarly, in a market with a small number of traders, the equilibrium price depends on each trader's own actions as well as the one of his fellow traders (see auctions Whenever an optimizing agent expects a reaction from other agents to his own actions, his payoff is determined by other player's actions as well, and he is playing a

P RINCIPIA C YBERNETICA ... EB Parent Node(s): Web Dictionary of Cybernetics and Systems GAME THEORY Game theory is a branch of mathematical analysis developed to study decision making in conflict situations. Such a situation exists when two or more decision makers who have different objectives act on the same system or share the same resources. There are two person and multiperson game s. Game theory provides a mathematical process for selecting an OPTIMUM STRATEGY (that is, an optimum decision or a sequence of decisions) in the face of an opponent who has a strategy of his own. In game theory one usually makes the following assumptions: (1) Each decision maker ["PLAYER"] has available to him two or more well-specified choices or sequences of choices (called "PLAYS"). (2) Every possible combination of plays available to the players leads to a well-defined end-state (win, loss, or draw) that terminates the game. (3) A specified payoff for each player is associated with each end-state (a [ZERO-SUM game] means that the sum of payoffs to all players is zero in each end-state). (4) Each decision maker has perfect knowledge of the game and of his opposition; that is, he knows in full detail the rules of the game as well as the payoffs of all other players.

This book is the first to apply the tools of game theoryand information economics to advance our understanding of how laws work. http://www.law.uchicago.edu/Picker/agtl/gtl.html

Game Theory and the Law Douglas G. Baird, Robert H. Gertner and Randal C. Picker Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press. 330 pp. Paper $24.95. From the Book Jacket This book is the first to apply the tools of game theory and information economics to advance our understanding of how laws work. Organized around the major solution concepts of game theory, the book shows how such well-known games as the prisoner's dilemma, the battle of the sexes, beer-quiche, and the Rubinstein bargaining game can illuminate many different kinds of legal problems. The organization of Game Theory and the Law serves to highlight the basic mechanisms at work and to lay out a natural progression in the sophistication of the games and legal problems considered. Game Theory and the Law will serve as an accessible primer on game theory for non-specialists. Many of the models and ideas it sets forth, however, are new. The authors offer new ways of thinking about problems in anti-discrimination, environmental, labor, and many other areas of law. The book makes few formal demands. The basic concepts of modern game theory are introduced without requiring the reader to know calculus, probability theory, or any other formal mathematical tools beyond simple algebra, which is used sparingly. The book also contains a comprehensive glossary of legal and economic terms, ranging from the absolute priority rule, to the Nash equilibrium, to von Neumann-Morganstern expected utility theory. It offers those interested in law a new way of thinking about legal rules, and it shows those interested in game theory a fertile and largely unexplored domain in which its tools have many applications.

32. Game Theory game theory. game theory has emerged recently as a powerful challenger to the conventionalmethod of examining economics. David Levine's What is game theory? http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/game.htm

Game Theory Game Theory has emerged recently as a powerful challenger to the conventional method of examining economics. Although many illustrious predecessors worked on problems in what can be called "game theory", the fundamental, formal conception of game theory as part and parcel of economic theory were first organized in John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern's 1944 classic, Theory of Games and Economic Behavior The main purpose of game theory is to consider situations where instead of agents making decisions as reactions to exogenous prices ("dead variables"), their decisions are strategic reactions to other agents actions ("live variables"). An agent is faced with a set of moves he can play and will form a strategy, a best response to his environment, which he will play by. Strategies can be either "pure" (i.e. play a particular move) or "mixed" (random play). A " Nash Equilibrium" will be reached when each agent's actions begets a reaction by all the other agents which, in turn, begets the same initial action. In other words, the best responses of all players are in accordance with each other. Game Theory can be roughly divided into two broad areas: non-cooperative (or strategic) games and co-operative (or coalitional) games. The meaning of these terms are self evident, although John

CS294 (section 1): Seminar on Algorithmic Aspects of Game Theory Instructor: Christos H. Papadimitriou Soda 389, christos@cs Office Hours: Wednesdays 2-3, and by appointment Meets: Tuesdays 3:30-5:30pm, in Soda 306 Course Format: Lectures by the instructor, occasionally by guests. Course Requirements: 2-3 problem sets students will be expected to select a topic (among those pertinent to the scope of the course but not covered in the course) read the literature on it, and write an appraisal that is as original as feasible. Collaboration is possible if appropriate. students will also be expected to scribe lecture notes, in collaboration with the instructor. this is a 2-unit course Course Description There have been many instances in the recent literature in which algorithmic thinking is combined with game-theoretic, or, more generally, economic concepts to address problems arising in the context of the Internet. The purpose of this course is to seize this moment and promote this interaction. The emphasis will be on mathematically sophisticated techniques in the interface between algorithms and game theory, as well as their applications to the Internet. Topics will include some of the following (the list will crystallize gradually,with references and/or links to documents): Nash equilibrium and general equilibrium Refinements of equilibrium concepts Social choice theory Mechanism design Multicast pricing Worst-case equilibria and "the price of anarchy" Combinatorial auctions Games played by automata and bounded rationality
