Behavioral Game Theory

Recently, I read a blog post on the Freakanomics blog that talked about Behavioral Game Theory. This subject intrigued me in its use for healthcare. Game theory is an economic principle which involves making the best choice form among available strategies given imperfect information. This theory could be applied to healthcare policymaking, physician decisions, and consumer directed health plans. I plan to start doing some research on the subject and expand further in future posts. Here is a link to a book by C.F. Cramer titled Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction.
