ABSTRACT
The influence of game theory on economics has been ballooning since the 1970s because it provides a way to attack the problem of strategic behavior in economic interaction. Not only is game theory widely used in mainstream economics, it has also penetrated finance, corporate strategy, and political science. Once the preserve of mathematicians, the subject is by now well enough understood that it is beginning to be taught to undergraduates and to MBA students in the leading business schools.
