Praise for the 3rd edition
"Rasmusen's Games and Information provides wonderful
coverage of the basics of game theory and information economics.
His consistent style of presenting the theoretical structures
lucidly unifies his test's wide and well-chosen range of
applications. I wish that all my students could take a course based
on this book, and envy them the opportunity."
Maxwell B. Stinchcombe, University of Texas at

"This is a terrific book bringing together two strands in the
recent literature on economic theory, namely game theory and the
economics of asymmetric information. The style is brisk, the
arguments are rigorous and it seems to be pitched at exactly the
right level."
