Binmore K. Does Game Theory Work?

Wiley, 2008. - 430 pages. For well over a decade, econometrics has been one of the major routes into finance. I took this route myself several years ago. Starting an academic career as an algebraist, I then had a brief encounter with game theory before discovering that the skills of an econometrician were in greater demand. I would have found econometrics much more boring than algebra or game theory had it not been for the inspiration of some gr...

Cambridge University Press, 1985. - 140 pages. One of the problems in economics to which economists have devoted a considerable amount of attention in recent years has been to ensure consistency in the models they employ. Assuming markets to be generally in some state of equilibrium, it must be asked under what circumstances such an equilibrium is possible. The fundamental mathematical tools used to address this concern are fixed point theorems....

Nоrth Hоlland, 1989. - 390 pages. This is the first economics work of its kind offering the economist the opportunity to acquire new and important analytical tools. It introduces the reader to three advanced mathematical methods by presenting both their theoretical bases and their applications to a wide range of economic models. The mathematical methods presented are ordinary differential equations, stability techniques and chaotic dynamics....

Routledge, 2005, 265 pp. As the intersection between economics and mathematics continues to grow in both theory and practice, a solid grounding in mathematical concepts is essential for all serious students of economic theory. In this clear and entertaining volume, Rakesh V.Vohra sets out the basic concepts of mathematics as they relate to economics. The book divides the mathematical problems that arise in economic theory into three types: feasi...

Publisher: Springer | 2010 | ISBN10: 1441908307 | 156 pages This book focuses on the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to Major League Baseball (MLB). DEA is a nonparametric linear programming model that is used across academic disciplines. In sports economics, authors have applied the technique primarily to assess team and/or managerial efficiency. The basis for performance analysis is economic production theory, where it is assumed...
