'''Game theory''' is a mathematical theory in [[economics]] that studies situations in which players choose different actions in an attempt to maximise their profits. It Provides a formal approach to the study of strategies and extends the simpler optimisation approach developed in neoclassical economics. Game theory can be viewed as a branch of [[decision theory]] in which players of the game interact with each other. A common example of game theory is the [[prisoner's dilemma]].
