Aggiungi al carrelloXVIII, 625 S. Verlagsfrisch. Aus der Beschäftigung Morgensterns mit dem 1928 von John von Neumann veröffentlichten Artikel "Zur Theorie der Gesellschaftsspiele" erwuchs nach dem Zusammentreffen der beiden Wissenschaftler 1939 an der Princeton University nicht nur eine lebenslange Freundschaft. Vielmehr entstand aus ihrer Zusammenarbeit einer der bedeutendsten Beiträge zur Wirtschaftstheorie im 20. Jahrhundert: Mit der "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior" (1944) schufen sie die Grundlage für die ökonomische Anwendung der Spieltheorie. Erstmals war es damit gelungen, eine Theorie über interaktives Verhalten in ein Modell zu gießen. Die Spieltheorie überträgt mit Hilfe der Mathematik Erkenntnisse über das menschliche Verhalten bei Spielen wie Schach oder Poker auf die Wirtschaft. Solche Spiele haben mit dem Verhalten von Unternehmen am Markt gemeinsam, daß dazu erfolgversprechende Strategien benötigt werden. Unternehmen können mit Hilfe der Spieltheorie ihre Vorgehensweise auf den Märkten und gegenüber der Konkurrenz verbessern. Auf dem Gebiet der Ökonomie sorgte die Spieltheorie "für einen neuen methodologischen Ansatz für das Studium oligopolistischer Entscheidungsprozesse und für die Formulierung von Marktstrategien" (Karl Pribram).Im Kommentarband zu dieser Ausgabe erläutert James M. Buchanan (Fairfax/USA), warum er die Spieltheorie für den wichtigsten Beitrag zur Wirtschaftswissenschaft im 20. Jahrhundert hält; Werner Güth (Berlin) und Harmut Kliemt (Duisburg) untersuchen die Auswirkungen der Spieltheorie auf andere Wissenschaftsdisziplinen; Gerhard Schwödiauer (Magdeburg) stellt die Entstehungsgeschichte der "Theory of Games" und die Vita der beiden Autoren dar; Reinhard Selten (Bonn) beschreibt die konzeptionellen Grundlagen der Spieltheorie einst und jetzt.

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, first published in 1944 by Princeton University Press, is a book by mathematician John von Neumann (1903-1957) and economist Oskar Morgenstern (1902-1977), which is considered the groundbreaking text that created the interdisciplinary research field of game theory. The book is based partly on earlier research by von Neumann, published in 1928 under the German title Zur Theorie der Gesellschaftsspiele (On the Theory of Board Games). The derivation of expected utility from its axioms appeared in an appendix to the Second Edition (1947). This theory allowed mathematical statisticians and economists to treat decision-making under uncertainty. Game theory was developed extensively in the 1950s, and was explicitly applied to evolution in the 1970s, although similar developments go back at least as far as the 1930s. Game theory has been widely recognized as an important tool in many fields. This is a SECOND EDITION COPY, which is the first to include the derivation of expected utility from its axioms.

'The notions of a minimax solution, first proposed by Waldgrave, and of maximization of expected utility, diminishing marginal utility, and risk aversion put forward by Daniel Bernoulli (1738) in his analysis of the St. Petersburg paradox, lie at the core of game theory. These elements were not assembled until von Neumann and Morgenstern (1944) noted in an appendix on axiomatic utility theory in their second edition (1947, 629) that Bernoulli's moral expectation, which equated ability to the logarithm of wealth, satisfied their conditions for rationality' (Robert W. Dimand & Mary Ann Dimand, 'Strategic Games from Waldgrave to Borel,' in E. Roy Weintraub (ed.), Toward a History of Game Theory, 1992, p. 17).

Aggiungi al carrelloFirst edition of von Neumann and Morgenstern's landmark work. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by John von Neumann on the title page. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. With the original âCorrigendaâ slip laid in. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery. Books signed by von Neumann are exceptionally rare. âOne of the major scientific contributions of the 20th centuryâ (Goldstine & Wigner). John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern conceived a groundbreaking mathematical theory of economic and social organization, based on a theory of games of strategy. Not only would this revolutionize economics, but the entirely new field of scientific inquiry it yielded--game theory--has since been widely used to analyze a host of real-world phenomena from arms races to optimal policy choices of presidential candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary negotiations. âHad it merely called to our attention the existence and exact nature of certain fundamental gaps in economic theory, the Theory of Games and Economic Behavior⦠would have been a book of outstanding importance. But it does more than that. It is essentially constructive: where existing theory is considered to be inadequate, the authors put in its place a highly novel analytical apparatus designed to cope with the problem. It would be doing the authors an injustice to say that theirs is a contribution to economics only. The scope of the book is much broader. The techniques applied by the authors in tackling economic problems are of sufficient generality to be valid in political science, sociology, or even military strategy. The applicability to games proper (chess and poker) is obvious from the title. Moreover, the book is of considerable interest from a purely mathematical point of view⦠The appearance of a book of the caliber of the Theory of Games is indeed a rare eventâ (World of Mathematics II:1267-84). However, "it would be doing the authors an injustice to say that theirs is a contribution to economics only. The scope of the book is much broader. The techniques applied by the authors in tackling economic problems are of sufficient generality to be valid in political science, sociology, or even military strategy. The applicability to games proper (chess and poker) is obvious from the title. Moreover, the book is of considerable interest from a purely mathematical point of view." (Hurwicz in World of Mathematics, vol 2). In the words of two Nobel Prize-winning economists, "a landmark in the history of ideas" and a seminal work in mathematics and economics, which "has had a profound impact on statistics" (Dorfman, Samuelson & Solow, Linear Programming and Economic Analysis pp 417, 445).

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First edition. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING OF THE FOUNDATIONAL BOOK ON GAME THEORY. IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. "Probabilists have studied games of chance since the beginning of probability theory. Strategic games, whose outcome depends on the skill of the participants in choosing a strategy of play, received widespread attention among mathematicians and economists only with the publication in 1944 of the first edition of John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern's Theory of Games and Economic Behavior." (Dimand and Dimand, "The Early History of the Theory of Strategic Games from Waldegrave to Borel", 1992). In subsequent years, "game theory, it may reasonably be claimed, has proved to be one of the more significant scientific contributions of the twentieth century. Albeit haltingly and unevenly, and in a manner quite unforeseeable in 1944 when the Theory of Games and Economic Behavior was published, it has affected not only economics and political science but also evolutionary biology, ethics, and philosophy proper. Within economics, particular areas such as microeconomic theory, industrial organization, international trade, and experimental economics have all been reshaped under the theory's influence. Although game theory initially came from outside as a critical contribution, it has now been completely embraced by the economics discipline, as indicated by the awarding of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics to John Nash, John Harsányi, and Reinhard Selten in 1994, and to Robert Aumann and Thomas Schelling in 2005." (Robert Leonard, Von Neumann, Morgenstern, and the Creation of Game Theory, 2010.) Complete with the rare "Corrigenda" slip. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1944. Octavo, original cloth, original dust jacket. Book near-fine with just a hint of fading to spine, dust jacket with light edgewear, and a little spine fading (a common problem with this book). An outstanding copy: The dust jacket is notoriously prone to wear and this example is one of the nicest examples we've seen. Original cloth, original dust jacket.
