Game Theory in Economics Game theory is a concept of decision making that considers more elements beyond just benefits minus costs. Specifically‚ it includes the interaction between participants.

Column 2 dominates column 1; then row 3 dominates row 4; then column 4 dominates column 3; then row 1 dominates row 2. The resulting submatrix consists of row 1 and 3 vs. columns 2 and 4. Solving this 2 by 2 game and moving back to the original game we find that value is 3/2‚ I’s optimal

GAMES THEORY IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS 1.0 INTRODUCTION The field of game theory came into being with Émile Borel ’s researches in his 1938 book ‘Applications aux Jeux des Hazard’‚ and was followed by the 1944 book ‘Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour’ by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern. This theory was developed extensively in the 1950s by many scholars. Game theory was later explicitly applied to biology in the 1970s‚ although similar developments go back at least as far as the
