Apply these ideas to a range of topics from economics and other social sciences. Best understood through applications (the textbook does a good job doing this) Dixit, a. , skeath, s. , and reiley, d. (2015) games of strategy, 4th edition. Can use an earlier edition; however, problems for assignments will be given form the 4th edition. There are two prisoners (let"s call them alice and bob) Both were caught for doing a small crime, and the police have a lot of evidence for them for this crime. They are suspected of doing a larger crime, such as murder, but with little evidence to charge them. Therefore, the police are trying to get a confession from them.
