This volume investigates the intersection of classical game theory and behavioral economics to determine how human cognitive limitations influence strategic decision-making. Sanjit Dhami, a professor of economics, synthesizes empirical evidence and theoretical models to challenge the assumption of perfect rationality in strategic interactions. The text provides a rigorous framework for understanding how individuals deviate from Nash equilibrium predictions in real-world scenarios.

Experts recognize this text as a rigorous resource for advanced students and researchers specializing in behavioral economics. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is designed for those with a strong background in formal economic modeling.
