"Joel Watson has written a splendid introduction to game theory: readable, concise, authoritative. I highly recommend Strategy. It will shape the way we teach game theory for many years to come."
—John McMillan, Stanford University
"A very impressive book. Joel Watson presents the main ideas of game theory in an extremely clear and engaging manner, and discusses numerous interesting applications. I strongly recommend this book to advanced undergraduates, as well as graduate students and professors."
—Oliver Hart, Harvard University
"Strategy is the first undergraduate text to combine game theory and contract theory, two of the most important developments in theoretical economics in the last 50 years. Professor Watson has done an excellent job on the book, and I expect it to be both popular and influential."
—George Mailath, University of Pennsylvania
"This excellent introduction to game theory will be particularly valuable to students and scholars with an interest in applied work, such as law and economics. Professor Watson combines the main elements of game theory with a very clear presentation of modern contract theory. The book includes a number of examples showing how the central ideas of the two theories can be used to analyze both purely economic and policy related problems. This will be a very useful and popular text."
—Alan Schwartz, Yale Law School and Yale School of Management
