Automata in Game Theory. The study of iterated games by nite automata has been explored by a number of authors: Aumann, Radner, Rubinstein, Neyman, Kalai, and many others. Here we largely follow Rubinstein (1998) and Kalai & Stanford (1988).

Devising policies to promote people’s wellbeing requires an understanding of the difference between situations in which self-interest can promote general wellbeing, and cases in which it leads to undesirable results. To analyse this, we will introduce game theory, a way of modelling how people interact.
We now begin the study of noncooperative game theory, the analysis of interdependent decision-making. Before we can analyze any situation, we need to describe it formally. That is, we must have the specification of the model that describes the situation, or game, that we are interested in.
An intersubjective model of agency for game theory. Vivienne Brown The Open University, UK. v.w.brown@open.ac.uk. forthcoming Economics and Philosophy. Abstract. This paper proposes a new interpretation of noncooperative games that shows why the unilateralism of best-reply reasoning fails to capture the mutuality of strategic interdependence.
Introduction to Game Theory. June 8, 2021. In this chapter, we review some of the central concepts of Game Theory. These include the celebrated theorem of John Nash which gives us an insight into equilibrium behaviour of interactions between multiple individuals.
