  abstract =	 {Game theory has become increasingly popular among
                  undergraduate as well as business school
                  students. This text is the first to provide both a
                  complete theoretical treatment of the subject and a
                  variety of real-world applications, primarily in
                  economics, but also in business, political science,
                  and the law. Strategies and Games grew out of Prajit
                  Dutta's experience teaching a course in game theory
                  over the last six years at Columbia University. The
                  book is divided into three parts: Strategic Form
                  Games and Their Applications, Extensive Form Games
                  and Their Applications, and Asymmetric Information
                  Games and Their Applications. The theoretical topics
                  include dominance solutions, Nash equilibrium,
                  backward induction, subgame perfect equilibrium,
                  repeated games, dynamic games, Bayes-Nash
                  equilibrium, mechanism design, auction theory, and
                  signaling. An appendix presents a thorough
                  discussion of single-agent decision theory, as well
                  as the optimization and probability theory required
                  for the course. Every chapter that introduces a new
                  theoretical concept opens with examples and ends
                  with a case study. Case studies include Global
                  Warming and the Internet, Poison Pills, Treasury
                  Bill Auctions, and Final Jeopardy. Each part of the
                  book also contains several chapter-length
                  applications including Bankruptcy Law, the NASDAQ
                  market, OPEC, and the Commons problem. This is also
                  the first text to provide a detailed analysis of
                  dynamic strategic interaction.},
