Readings
Assigned readings for my six-week
Game Theory and Literature course at
Richard Hugo House (Saturday mornings, May 2 through June 13) will be modest. I'm only asking you to read two works of literature and selections from a critical study of Jane Austen.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
William Shakespeare, King Lear
Michael Suk-Young Chwe, Jane Austen, Game Theorist
For a more in-depth understanding of the history and scope of game theory, you may want to take a look at one or more of these readings.
Avinash Dixit and Barry J. Nalebuff, The Art of Strategy
Sylvia Nasar, A Beautiful Mind
John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern, Theory of Games and Economic Behavior
William Poundstone, Prisoner's Dilemma
