The Topology of 2x2 Games: A New Periodic Table

Game theory has implications for all the social sciences and beyond. It now provides the theoretical basis for almost all teaching in economics, and 2×2 games provide the very basis of game theory. Here, Goforth and Robinson here have delivered a well-written and knowledgeable, ‘periodic table’ of the most common games including:

* the prisoner’s dilemma
* coordination games
* chicken
* the battle of the sexes.

This book will provide a valuable reference for students of microeconomics and business mathematics.
