Features: The purpose of this book is to systematically introduce the main content and research methods of game theory, helping readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental ideas of game theory and improving their ability to apply basic game theory methods to solve practical problems. The book covers the fields involved in four Nobel Prizes in Economics (non-cooperative game theory, principal-agent models, research on asymmetric information markets, experimental game theory) and also introduces some other cutting-edge areas (evolutionary game theory). This book can serve as a textbook or supplementary material for senior undergraduate and graduate students in economics and related fields; it can also be used by enthusiasts for self-study. For economists who are not specialists in game theory, it is also an excellent reference book.

In this sense, it is also a valuable reference for decision-makers engaged in practical work.
