Frontiers in Games and Dynamic Games

This contributed volume presents the state-of-the-art of games and dynamic games, featuring several chapters based on plenary sessions at the ISDG-China Chapter Conference on Dynamic Games and Game Theoretic Analysis, which was held from August 3-5, 2017 at the Ningbo campus of the University of Nottingham, China. The chapters in this volume will provide readers with paths to further research, serving as a testimony to the vitality of the field. Experts cover a range of theory and applications related to games and dynamic games, with topics including:Dynamically stable cooperative provision of public goods under non-transferable utilityStrongly time-consistent solutions in cooperative dynamic gamesIncentive Stackelberg games for stochastic systemsStatic and inverse Stackelberg games in political economyCournot and Betrand competition on symmetric R&D networksNumerical Nash equilibria using curvilinear multistart algorithmMarkov chain approximation numerical scheme for infinite-horizon mean field gamesFrontiers in Games and Dynamic Games will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of researchers, practitioners, and graduate students interested in games and dynamic games.
