About this title

Review

'This book brings together the various strands of knowledge on non-cooperative differential games for the first time. A great merit of the text is that it is, technique-wise, self-contained. The large number of worked examples enhances considerably the clarity of the material ... The book fills a large gap and will facilitate inclusion of differential games as part of mainstream game theory courses at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels. Teaching purposes aside, game theorists as well as PhD students will benefit a lot from this excellent new text. The book will enable researchers to add differential games to their arsenal of techniques in looking for the best modelling approach to address economic questions.' Arupratan Daripa, The Times Higher Education Supplement
