A SURVEY OF DYNAMIC GAMES IN ECONOMICS

by Ngo Van Long, McGill University, Canada

“The ideas underlying differential game arose from Isaacs' Rand Paper P 257, in 1951, inspired by von Neumann at Rand. Subsequently, the focus tur ns pragmatic, and main applications come from — understandably — economics , the discipline about interactive decision-making with foresight. Befittingly, as differential game approaches its 60th anniversary, this volume appears as the best possible introduction for the interested readers. Professor Long, a top economist with wide ranging contributions, has covered the topic with clarity, eloquence, thoroughness and impeccable rigor.” Henry Y Wan, Jr., Profess or of Economics, Cornell University

It will also discuss and explain main concepts and techniques used in dynamic games, and inform readers of its major developments while equipping them with tools and ideas that will aid in the formulation of solutions for problems.
