The Interaction Between Game Theory and Theoretical Industrial Economics
This paper considers the impact of game theory on economics and of economics on game theory, particularly with reference to the ways that industrial economics has been affected. Some old, pre-game theory oligopoly models of P. Sweezy, H. Stackelberg, and E. H. Chamberlin are revisited and analyzed from a game theoretic standpoint. Then some recent work is examined in which the game theoretic influence is evident. After that the "folk theorem" and…
Views on the Relevance of Game Theory
This article comments on the works by Michael Hechter, Gordon Tullock, and Aaron Wildavsky that are critical of game theory. Although most of the points raised by the authors have merit, some are not relevant to game theory (as opposed to the misuse of game theory within social science). Those points pertaining to game theory vary in importance from quite central to exceedingly peripheral

Research in Experimental Economics
On Uncertain Lifetimes
This paper contrasts consumer choice under uncertain lifetimes with the behavior that would arise if each individual's lifetime were announced at birth. In a model that includes life insurance and excludes investments in human capital, the expected utility under uncertain lifetimes exceeds that under known lifetimes when the latter expectation is based on preannouncement survival probabilities. This conclusion emerges, first, because the model wi…
