Decision Processes in Economics: Proceedings of the VI Italian Conference on Game Theory, Held in Modena, Italy, October 9-10, 1989 (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)

The subject of this book is game theory and its possible applications in several fields. The papers presented at the conference are sorted into three main groups: games, dynamic games and social games. Some new ideas and methods on stochastic dynamic games and bargaining games are presented and a tentative unified approach to games is sketched. The book includes a discussion of game theory and of the possible applications of games. A new approach to portfolio selection is presented which should give the reader some new ideas. The contributors, from several countries, have presented their papers with the aim in mind of reaching readers who are not necessarily experts on games.
