商品描述
This textbook introduces fundamental concepts of game theory and demonstrates its uses and application in the social sciences. Written in plain English and without overwhelming mathematical jargon, it serves as an invaluable resource for undergraduate students in economics, law, political sciences, and related social sciences. Starting from non-cooperative games and progressing to cooperative games, it explores a wide range of topics, including the analysis of zero-sum games, voting rules and their practical implications, and other applications of game theory. Uniquely, it emphasizes cooperative concepts and their normative applications, providing a fresh perspective.
With "Game Theory for the Social Sciences", readers will be equipped with the analytical tools to analyze conflict resolution, bargaining strategies, cooperative decision-making, and the dynamics of power relationships. Through engaging examples drawn from real-world scenarios, readers will develop a solid understanding of how game theory can be applied to diverse fields in social sciences.
"Pierre Dehez offers a consistent kit of classic game theoretic tools, from equilibrium concepts to bargaining solutions and power indices, all illustrated with insightful examples and applications."
Françoise Forges, Professor of Economics, Université Paris Dauphine-PSL
"This book is written clearly and pedagogically without resorting to difficult mathematics. It provides many different and interesting examples from problems of fair sharing, bargaining to voting systems and many others. It is a perfect introduction to this subject too often quoted but too often misunderstood."
Alan Kirman, Directeur d'études, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris, and Emeritus Professor, Aix-Marseille University
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本教科書介紹了博弈論的基本概念,並展示了它在社會科學中的應用。以平易近人的英文書寫,避免使用過多的數學術語,它是經濟學、法學、政治科學和相關社會科學本科生的寶貴資源。從非合作博弈開始,逐步深入合作博弈,探討了廣泛的主題,包括零和博弈的分析、投票規則及其實際影響,以及博弈論的其他應用。獨特之處在於強調合作概念及其規範應用,提供了新的觀點。
通過《社會科學的博弈論》,讀者將獲得分析衝突解決、談判策略、合作決策和權力關係動態的分析工具。通過引人入勝的真實場景例子,讀者將對博弈論如何應用於社會科學的各個領域有深入的理解。
"皮埃爾·德赫斯提供了一套一致的經典博弈論工具,從均衡概念到談判解決方案和權力指數,並通過深入的例子和應用進行了說明。"
- 法蘭索瓦茲·福爾熱斯,巴黎大學達芬妮分校經濟學教授
"這本書以清晰且教學性的方式書寫,避免使用困難的數學。它提供了許多不同且有趣的例子,從公平分配、談判到投票系統等問題。這是一本完美的介紹,這個主題經常被引用,但往往被誤解。"
- 艾倫·科爾曼,巴黎高等社會科學研究學院教授,艾克斯-馬賽大學名譽教授
