With such concepts as players, actions, payoffs and descriptions of strategic interactions, game theory can be used explicitly or implicitly to analyze law, and in these 20 previously published articles contributors describe game theory and how it applies to bargaining and procedure, contracts, torts, crimes, taxes and courts. Specific topics include the role of game theory in law, agency models in law and economics, economic analyses of legal disputes and their resolution, game theory in calculating litigation costs, an economic theory of the duty to bargain, optimal choices of legal rules, economic theories of liability, interactive theories of law enforcement in tax compliance and other cases, the selection of disputes for litigation, rational choice theory of Supreme Court statutory decisions, and tests for the stability and liability of judicial decisions. Articles are in facsimile form with original page numbers for citations. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
