"This is a terrific book bringing together two strands in the recent literature on economic theory, namely game theory and the economics of asymmetric information. The style is brisk, the arguments are rigorous and it seems to be pitched at exactly the right level." Partha Dasgupta, Professor of Economics, University of Cambridge
"I feel that Dr Eric Rasmusen has written a first class book which should be of wide interest not only to game theorists and economists but also scholars working in many other fields. Dr Rasmusen's book is a good investment!" Keith W. Hipel

From the Back Cover
Widely praised when the first edition appeared, Games and Information has been substantially enlarged and updated in the second edition. The text continues to reflect the importance in economic research of non-cooperative game theory and information economics. The topics of non-cooperative games and entry deterrence have been given their own chapters added on auditing, nuisance suits, recoordination and renegotiation, super moduality, signal jamming, market microstructure and government procurement. Many new chapters have been added and the number of homework problems has been greatly expanded.
Eric Rasmusen writes in a crisp and approachable style, relying wherever possible on explanation in place of technical proofs. The book will be an indispensable tool for advanced microeconomics courses and of considerable interest to anyone who needs to understand the economic research of the last ten years.
