However, in his book Spieltheorie und ökonomische (Bei)spiele, Werner Güth regards game theory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enot exclusively as an economic discipline, although fundamental concepts of game theory have been inspired by economic questions and have been developed by economists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding game theory, there are numerous applications in the areas theoretical economy, operations research, statistical decision theory, marketing, politic and military science, insurance mathematics, sociology and psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAim of the dissertation is to give a general overview on game theory and especially to answer the following questions by analysing the Swedish and German replies of the questionnaire:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
