A new field of economics was pioneered by mathematician von Neumann, who was not good at poker, and completed "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior" in 1944 with the help of economist Morgenstern. It is a mathematical method to analyze game-like situations in which the payoffs of multiple rational decision-makers are determined by the interdependence of their strategies. The Prisoner's Dilemma, in which desirable cooperation is possible but undesirable defection is made possible due to lack of dialogue and binding power, is particularly famous. Traditionally, economics only analyzed perfect competition and monopoly, which have weak strategic interdependence, but the emergence of game theory has made it possible to fully analyze modern oligopoly economies. These fields are called new industrial organization theory and new international trade theory to distinguish them from traditional theories. Game theory has produced two Nobel Prize winners in economics, in 1994 and 2005, including John Nash, who was the model for the movie "A Beautiful Mind."

ポーカーが得意でなかったという数学者フォン・ノイマンが1944年に経済学者モルゲンシュテルンの協力を得て完成させた『ゲームの理論と経済行動』によって切り開かれた、新しい経済学の分野。複数の合理的意思決定主体の利得がそれぞれの戦略の相互依存関係によって定まるという、ゲーム的状況を分析する数理的手法。互いに望ましい協力行為がありながら、会話と拘束力の欠如のために互いに望ましくない裏切り行為をとるという囚人のジレンマは特に有名である。従来、経済学は戦略的相互依存関係の希薄な完全競争や独占のみを分析していたが、ゲーム理論の登場によって、現代の寡占経済の本格的な分析が可能になった。これらの分野は、伝統理論と区別するために、新産業組織論や新国際貿易論と呼ばれている。ゲーム理論の研究では、映画『ビューティフル・マインド』のモデルにもなったジョン・ナッシュなど、1994年、2005年の2度、ノーベル経済学賞の受賞者が出ている。
