我希望各位看完本书后,还想进一步了解博弈论与经济学。遗憾的是,推荐下面这些书并没有让我赚到任何一分钱。
博弈论的延伸阅读
1.《策略博弈》(Games of Strategy):Avinash K.Dixit和Susan Skeath合著,是很棒的大学教科书。看懂这本书不需要经济学背景,但必须懂一点微积分。看完本书的读者如果想好好钻研博弈论,这是一本很棒的辅助教材。
2.《竞合》(Co-opetition):Adam M.Brandenburger和Barry J.Nalebuff合著,是一本探讨如何谈判、合作与竞争的著作,内容浅显易懂。
3.《策略思维》(Thinking Strategically):Avinash K.Dixit和Barry J.Nalebuff合著,是一本浅显易懂的博弈论专著,适合一般人阅读。
4.《博弈、策略、经理人》(Games,Strategies and Managers):John McMillan所著,对博弈论有非常浅显易懂的介绍。
5.《合作的演化》(The Evolution of Cooperation):Robert Axelrod所著,以浅显易懂的方式解释了重复囚徒困境博弈的合作。
6.《囚徒困境》(Prisoner's Dilemma):William Poundstone所著,是一本浅显易懂的书,其中探讨了囚徒困境的历史、原理与用途。
7.《美丽心灵》(A Beautiful Mind):(Sylvia Nasar)所著,是约翰·纳什的传记。
8.《应用经济学者的博弈论》(Game Theory for Applied Economists):Robert Gibbons所著,是一本比《策略博弈》深奥的博弈论书籍。诚如书名所示,它假定读者已经具备了一些经济方面的知识。
9.《策略:博弈论入门》(Strategy:An Introduction to Game Theory):Joel Watson所著,是进阶的博弈论大学教科书,其中谈到契约理论。
10.http://www.gamethoery.net:是很棒的博弈论网络资源。经济学的延伸阅读。
11.《生活中的经济学》(The Economics of Life):Gary S.Becker和吉蒂·娜Guity Nashat Becker合著,是由Becker夫妇在美国《商业周刊》(Business Week)所写的专栏集结而成。这些文章并没有用到很多博弈论,而是把经济学应用在广为人知的公共政策议题上。这些文章都是写给一般的读者看(Gary S.Becker是诺贝尔经济学奖得主,同时也是我的博士论文指导教授)。
12.《性与理性》(Sex and Reason):Richard A.Posner所著,本书把经济推理应用在性事上,一般读者都看得懂(Posner大概是当今最有影响力的法律学者,同时也是我的博士论文指导教授)。
13.《信息经营法则》(Information Rules):Carl Shapiro和Hal R.Varian合著,本书把经济学理论应用在高科技和信息层面,并提供了很多深入的网络外部性实例,一般读者都看得懂这本书。任何人如果想要了解网络与计算机业的经济学,我都会大力推荐这本书。
14.《微观经济学原理》(Principles of Microeconomics):N.Gregory Mankiw所写的是一本微观经济学的大学教科书。它虽然是一本教科书,但一般读者都看得懂。任何人如果有意了解经济学,都应该读读微观经济学的教科书,因为微观经济学是世上所知最成功的非宗教哲学。如果不懂微观经济学,就不可能了解政治、历史与商业。
15.《漫步华尔街》(A Random Walk down Wall Street):Burton G.Malkiel所著,是一本很好看的入门书,内容是关于经济学家如何看待股市的运作。它为一般读者所阐述的股市现象大部分都是既贴切又一针见血,就像在分析星座一样,所以这本书可以让不少投资者得到启发。
