The Economics of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Secrets, Desires, and Second-Mover Advantages: The Graz Schumpeter Lectures

Autor Manfred J. Holler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2020
The highly praised Western, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, has been used in many game-theory courses over the years and has also found its way into leading journals of this field. Using the rich material offered by this movie, alongside other elements from popular culture, literature and history, this book furthers this exploration into a fascinating area of economics.


In his series of Schumpeter lectures, Manfred J. Holler uses his analysis of Sergio Leone’s movie as a starting point to argue that combinations of desires, secrets and second-mover advantages trigger conflicts but also allow for conflict resolution. Many people and organizations have a desire for secrecy, and this is often motivated by a desire to create a second-mover advantage, and by undercutting the second-mover advantage of others. This book demonstrates that the interaction of these three ingredients account for a large share of social problems and failures in politics and business but, somewhat paradoxically, can also help to overcome some of the problems that result by applying one or two of them in isolation.


This book has been written for curious readers who want to see the world from a different perspective and who like simple mathematics alongside story telling. Its accessible approach means that it will be of use to students and academics alike, especially all those interested in decision making, game theory, and market entry.

Descriere

In his series of Schumpeter lectures, the author uses his analysis of the three-person duel (or ‘truel’) in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, as a starting point to argue that the truel between desires, secrets and second-mover advantages account for a large share of social problems and failures in politics and business.
