This advanced text introduces the principles of noncooperative game theory - including strategic form games, Nash equilibria, subgame perfection, repeated games, and games of incomplete information - in a direct and uncomplicated style that will acquaint students with the broad spectrum of the field while highlighting and explaining what they need to know at any given point. The analytic material is accompanied by many applications, examples, and exercises.The theory of noncooperative games studies the behavior of agents in any situation where each agent's optimal choice may depend on a forecast of the opponents' choices. "Noncooperative" refers to choices that are based on the participant's perceived selfinterest. Although game theory has been applied to many fields, Fudenberg and Tirole focus on the kinds of game theory that have been most useful in the study of economic problems. They also include some applications to political science. The fourteen chapters are grouped in parts that cover static games of complete information, dynamic games of complete information, static games of incomplete information, dynamic games of incomplete information, and advanced topics.Drew Fudenberg and Jean Tirole are Professors of Economics at MIT.

本书是演化博弈论研究领域的经典著作。1982年，约翰·梅纳德·史密斯因此书的出版被称为演化博弈论之父。在本书中，作者把博弈论的思想纳入到生物演化的分析中，揭示了动物群体行为变化的动力学机制。虽然论述的思想和知识涉及生物学、博弈论和数学等交叉领域，但看似艰深的理论，作者却信手拈来，融精妙思想与优雅文笔于一体，大大增强了本书的可读性，也使其在学界享有盛誉，长销不衰。
