Game Theory and Policy Making in Natural Resources and the Environment

This book includes chapters by experts from developing and developed countries that apply game theory to issues in natural resources and the environment. The focus in the book is clearly on applications that have policy relevance and that could lead to establishment of policy dialogue. The book objective is to demonstrate the usefulness of game theory in policy making at various levels, and for various aspects related to natural resources and the environment. In that respect, the proposed book differs from existing books that focus on game theory applications. It is more policy oriented and aims to focus on a wide range of readers, who are not necessarily pure game theorists, but appreciate the potential game theory may bring to useful policy debates. Contributors include George B. Frisvold, Gordon Rausser and Franklin M. Fisher.
