Reviews

There are some themes that one will not find elsewhere, such as the extensive discussion of the Thompson transformations and normal-form information sets, as well as the treatment of strategic stability and index theory ... the inclusion of these topics will make this textbook particularly attractive for researchers. Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics ... intended for use in graduate programmes. It will also be very useful for researchers in the field who want to look up some definitions or proofs they do not completely recall, and for those who want to learn about recent developments in game theory.
