Ken Binmore

This volume brings together all of Ken Binmore's influential experimental papers on bargaining along with newly written commentary in which Binmore discusses the underlying game theory and addresses the criticism leveled at it by behavioral economists. When Binmore began his experimental work in the 1980s, conventional wisdom held that game theory would not work in the laboratory, but Binmore and other pioneers established that game theory can often predict the behavior of experienced players very well in favorable laboratory settings.

We all tend to loose sight of this fact and think of our job as our provider and our focus gets clouded. And then more and more of ourtime is spent on material pursuits with little time left for the "spiritual" aspects of life. This results in more stress and far less of the peace that we all can have when our focus is on God and not on our own abilities. No...
