Game Theory and The Law
Abstract
Game theory possesses a distinctive vocabulary that may at times accentuate the differences between it and traditional law-and-economics. If we take a few steps backwards, however, we are likely to see that the differences are ones of emphasis. Game theory is useful not because it is different from traditional law-and-economics, but because it provides additional tools to anyone interested in understanding the structure of legal rules and the way they affect the way people behave (see Ayres 1990). The easiest way to see this is to begin with the most familiar example in law-and-economics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
