Description
This collection of articles illustrates the interplay between economic and game theory, econometrics and optimisation in economic decision making. The contributions from these three areas are presented in honour of Jacques Dreze and are inspired by his vision of how these disciplines can and should interact. The material illustrates how each of the disciplines has evolved over the last twenty years, and emphasizes the continuous need for interdisciplinary approaches to economic decision-making.
