Kobayashi K: The Mystery of the
Ultimatum Game

The Mystery of the Ultimatum Game

Why We Are Predictably Irrational

This book focuses on four key parts of the Blockchain ecosystem, which are the most relevant for financial services executives: Tokenomics and Digital Platforms, Markets, Privacy and the emerging phenomenon of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

Tokenomics and Digital Platforms explores some of the key tenants of distributed ledger technology. Markets introduces important dynamics of both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Privacy describes the cryptographic primitives that enable safe, blockchain-based digital transactions, perhaps the most critical infrastructure for global adoption of Web3. The last part of the book on DAOs highlights benefits but also risks and boundaries of the emerging new form of organization.

Each part is introduced in a short chapter to set the stage, followed by the contributions of selected scholars. The chapters explain not only what the phenomenon in question is, but also what the associated opportunities and risks are. They highlight what practitioners can do with the insight their research provides.

All chapters are short, easy-to-read, and tailored to the practitioners who need to understand these topics but whose busy schedule doesn’t allow for enough time to read full academic articles to do so.

Current Academic Insights Condensed for Busy Practitioners

The Blockchain Scholars Book

This Palgrave Pivot develops an interdisciplinary approach to household financial decision-making by integrating behavioral finance, consumer finance, financial planning, and human-centered artificial intelligence. Moving beyond investor- and market-focused traditions, it situates financial risk tolerance, financial stress, and dynamic behavioral signals within the lived contexts of households, advisors, and institutions. The book reconceptualizes risk tolerance as a time-varying behavioral construct, positions financial stress as a core mechanism shaping decision-making and well-being, and introduces a framework of behavioral signals, including consumer complaints, sentiment, and market mood, that may precede price movements.It further examines how machine learning and AI can interpret these signals while reshaping financial advice, alongside their methodological limits and ethical implications for accountability and client autonomy. By linking psychological states, behavioral data, and advisory practice, the book offers a structured research agenda for behavioral personal finance and contributes to debates on financial well-being, vulnerability, and technology-mediated decision-making. It will be of interest to scholars and advanced students in behavioral finance, financial planning, consumer science, and decision psychology, as well as practitioners and policymakers concerned with AI and household financial behavior.Wookjae Heo
 is Associate Professor of Consumer Science at Purdue University. His research focuses on financial risk tolerance, financial stress, consumer financial behavior, and the application of machine learning and natural language processing in personal finance. He has published widely in leading journals in consumer finance and financial planning and is known for advancing behavioral personal finance as an interdisciplinary field linking household decision-making, well-being, and human-centered AI.

Classroom Companion: Economics

This textbook, now published in its second edition, offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to game theory, with balanced coverage of both noncooperative and cooperative approaches to strategic decision-making. The noncooperative chapters examine advanced topics such as perfect and proper equilibria, evolutionary stable strategies, and correlated equilibrium, alongside subjects that are often underrepresented in comparable textbooks.The cooperative game theory sections address core topics including coalitional games, cake-cutting and fairness, cooperative bargaining, and matching theory. In addition, the book features a dedicated chapter on implementation theory, linking theoretical foundations to modern applications in economic design.Designed for one-semester advanced undergraduate or graduate-level courses, the book clearly distinguishes itself from other texts at the same level. Each chapter opens with precise theoretical definitions and proceeds with carefully worked-out examples. Selected chapters include formal propositions that either establish the existence of equilibrium in abstract settings or clarify relationships between key game-theoretic concepts.While rigorous in scope, the book assumes no advanced background in calculus or algebra. The mathematical exposition is deliberately kept clear, self-contained, and accessible, enabling readers to engage confidently with proofs and apply theoretical ideas to practical examples.This revised and extended second edition substantially broadens the foundations and applications of Mastering Game Theory. It introduces a stronger epistemic framework, enriches the treatment of equilibrium concepts, expands the analysis of correlated equilibrium, and incorporates well-known examples of auctions, implementation, voting, and matching markets. With approximately 90 pages of new material and 20 additional figures, the second edition enhances the book’s coherence, depth, and relevance for advanced students and early-career researchers.A companion workbook is also available, offering a rich collection of exercises and fully worked solutions ranging from basic applications to challenging mathematical problems.

A Comprehensive Introduction to Strategic Decision Making

Mastering Game Theory

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Einführung

Volkswirtschaftslehre

The author decided to write this pamphlet to express his disappointment with Germany. 
In particular, Germany's development over the last 20 years gives him cause for concern, frustration and, very often, anger. 
On closer inspection of our country, especially from an international perspective, it is clear that there are significant signs of social decline, be it a lack of respect, dishonesty, insincerity, or a lack of commitment to anything or anyone, which is embodied by the so-called Merkel generation in particular. 

'What do my neighbours matter to me, as long as my life and my advancement are secure?' 
Since 2005, under the governments of Angela Merkel and her successors, Germany has fallen into a deep sleep, and waking up from it will be very painful. The idiotic austerity measures at any price and the reduction of state services are based on no foundation and no reasonable economic knowledge. The so-called black zero in the budget does not exist in economic theory. 

Germany's entire infrastructure, its moral state, its social constitution and its international reputation have suffered greatly. Intolerance, racism, hatred, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia have increased significantly. Politicians can no longer get this under control, and it is now up to us, society, to stand up and put a stop to these developments. 

The future of our country and our children, our prosperity, our happiness and our position in the world depend on it. 

Against this backdrop, this book puts its finger on the wounds of today's Germany. It adresses those who question themselves and society, a book against the hypocrisy and cowardice of German society and politics.

 But this behaviour can also be found in a similar form in other Western societies.

Lord, do not forgive them, for they know what they are doing!

“Constantly fascinating and impeccably reported...You won’t look at yourself in the same way again.” —Ed Yong, bestselling author of An Immense World and I Contain Multitudes A captivating exploration of the remarkable ways our DNA mutates over the course of our lives, with radical implications for the future of medicine Our DNA is the indispensable set of instructions that guides our growth and vitality. The common misconception is that this molecular blueprint stays the same throughout our lives. In reality, the genetic makeup of our cells is continuously mutating, from the moment we are conceived until our last breath. The hidden changes that amass in our genomes can have a huge influence on our health. In this groundbreaking book, science writer Roxanne Khamsi describes our bodies as active landscapes of mutation. She reveals how the forces of Darwinian evolution operate within our own tissues. The effects can be devastating, such as when mutant blood cells outcompete their normal counterparts and increase the risk of heart attacks. But mutations can also make our bodies more resilient: Liver cells with genetic changes seem to cope better with excess calories. And immune cells with remixed DNA can make more effective antibodies against the microbes that threaten us. By letting go of the antiquated idea that every cell in a body has the same exact DNA, we can usher in a whole new era of medicine, including better vaccines and treatments that outsmart cancer. Beyond Inheritance will open your eyes to the immense genetic diversity that exists within you and its incredible potential to shape your well-being.

Entwicklungsparadigmen in der globalen Finanzwirtschaft

Das Buch widmet sich dem tiefgreifenden Wandel betriebswirtschaftlicher und speziell finanzwirtschaftlicher Kernfunktionen vor dem Hintergrund der Digitalisierung, digitaler Transformation und Nachhaltigkeit. Diese eröffnen vielfältige Potenziale für Effizienz, Steuerung und Gestaltung, deren Realisierung jedoch weniger an Technologie oder Regulierung als an Governance, Datenqualität, Kompetenzen und Vertrauen hängt. Wo diese Voraussetzungen fehlen, fallen Erwartungen, formaler Anspruch und Wirklichkeit auseinander. Ziel ist daher nicht allein ein Zuwachs an Wissen, sondern auch eine realistische, gestaltungsorientierte Auseinandersetzung mit der Transformation und Transition der Finanzwirtschaft.&nbsp; Der Band vereint wissenschaftliche Analysen und praxisorientierte Beiträge, um ein umfassendes Bild dieser Entwicklungen zu zeichnen und aufzuzeigen, wie digitale Technologien, neue regulatorische Anforderungen und nachhaltigkeitsbezogene Zielsetzungen die betriebswirtschaftliche und insbesondere die finanzwirtschaftliche Steuerung maßgeblich prägen. Im Fokus stehen sowohl Chancen als auch Herausforderungen, die sich aus dem Einsatz moderner Technologien wie Künstlicher Intelligenz, Automatisierung oder datengetriebener Entscheidungsfindung ergeben. Ebenso werden die wachsenden Anforderungen im Bereich nachhaltiger Finanzwirtschaft beleuchtet. Der Sammelband zeigt auf, wie diese Entwicklungen die Kernfunktionen erweitern und neue Kompetenzprofile sowie innovative Steuerungsinstrumente erforderlich machen. Er richtet sich an Fach- und Führungskräfte ebenso wie an Forschende und interessierte Studierende.

Digitale und nachhaltige Transformationspfade

Finanzwirtschaft im Wandel

This book explores the foundations of the principle of altruism and its relationship to the criminal law, examining the contrasting justifications for the duty of easy rescue and the duty of tolerance, both of which are based on altruism. Since the days of Lord Macaulay and James FitzJames Stephen, it has been said that English law does not usually punish omissions, and that altruistic duties are incompatible with the spirit of the common law. This book aims to show that this is not an accurate description of English criminal law, and that there is a strong case to be made for the opposite understanding, based on principles advanced by authors such as Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill and others. By analysing the duty of easy rescue - which imposes on individuals a duty to take steps to rescue a person in danger if this can be done without risk to the rescuer, or at least a duty to call the emergency services - and by comparing it with the well-known duties arising in cases of extreme necessity, it can be shown that altruism has plenty to say in different parts of the criminal law. Having established the case for criminalising the failure to provide a simple rescue, a detailed analysis is made of the form that this criminalisation should take, bearing in mind the basic principles of English law and considering the strengths and weaknesses of the duty of easy rescue as it is formulated in various continental systems, including the German, French, Spanish and Italian criminal codes.
