This book, written by one of the most distinguished of contemporary economic theorists, reports on a major research program to provide strategic foundations for the theory of perfect competition. Beginning with a concise survey of how the theory of competition has evolved, Gale makes extensive and rigorous use of dynamic matching and bargaining models to provide a more complete description of how a competitive equlibrium is achieved. Whereas economists have made use of a macroscopic description of markets in which certain behavioral characteristics, such as price-taking behavior, are taken for granted, Gale uses game theory to re-evaluate this assumption, beginning with individual agents and modelling their strategic interaction. A strategic foundation for competitive equilibrium shows how such interaction leads to competitive, price-taking behavior. Essential reading for graduate courses in game theory and general equilibrium. 410 0$aChurchill lectures in economics. 606 $aCompetition 606 $aEquilibrium (Economics) 606 $aGame theory 615 0$aCompetition. 615 0$aEquilibrium (Economics) 615 0$aGame theory. 676 $a338.6/048/015193 700 $aGale$b Douglas$0118164 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780089503321 996 $aStrategic foundations of general equilibrium$9468672 997 $aUNINA
