The theory of competition has held a central place in economic analysis since Adam
Smith. This book, written by one of the most distinguished of contemporary economic
theorists, reports on a major research program to provide strategic foundations for
the theory of perfect competition. Beginning with a concise survey of how the theory
of competition has evolved, Gale makes extensive and rigorous use of dynamic matching
and bargaining models to provide a more complete description of how a competitive
equlibrium is achieved. Whereas economists have made use of a macroscopic description
of markets in which certain behavioral characteristics, such as price-taking behavior,
are taken for granted, Gale uses game theory to re-evaluate this assumption, beginning
with individual agents and modelling their strategic interaction. A strategic foundation
for competitive equilibrium shows how such interaction leads to competitive, price-taking
behavior. Essential reading for graduate courses in game theory and general equilibrium
