Overview
This book presents ground-breaking applications of game theory to deal with today's pressing environmental problems. It will become a valuable source of reference for academics and researchers interested in environmental economics and management, game theory and international relations.Synopsis
Economists looking for adequate tools to deal with relevant policy issues, and mathematicians with sophisticated mathematical tools looking for interesting environmental economic problems to apply them to, explore how game theory can be used to analyze the interrelations between the economy and the environment and to provide practical suggestions for policy interventions. They were charged with finding practical solutions to environmental problems and to use game theory to identify these concrete solutions, a goal they have not always achieved but which provides a common denominator to their studies. The 11 papers were presented to a conference at an undisclosed location and date. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
