Reading material
- A Course in Game Theory by Martin J. Osborne and Ariel Rubinstein.
- Joan Feigenbaum's course web page on Economics and Computation has been updated for a new class taught this semester. The links previously available on it have been removed. This is an archived version of the page. The archive seems to include the linked pdfs.
