Games, Rationality and Behaviour: Essays on Behavioural Game Theory and Experiments

by Harry D Kitson (Editor), E Teresa Choate (Editor)

Overview

This book covers a wide spectrum of issues in behavioural game theory (BGT), ranging from players' heterogeneity, social preferences and reciprocity, to learning, information and punishment in public good games. The book opens up the interdisciplinary aspects of BGT, and presents models which are tested through experimental methods.
