The Topology of the 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 2x2 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.
