GT in epidemiology

In this edit I partially restored this edit which was reverted in this edit. A review article of the use of tool X in field Y is exactly the correct type of WP:RS to establish a claim of the form "X is a commonly used tool in Y field". I also added in coverage in the popular media for good measure. It certainly looks to me like game theory is used enough in epidemiology to warrant including a section about it in this article. The second half of the material that was reverted, in contrast, is WP:UNDUE focus on a single paper for inclusion in a general encyclopedia article on game theory, and I have not restored that. - Astrophobe (talk) 16:10, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nobel Prizes

"As of 2014, with the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences going to game theorist Jean Tirole, eleven game theorists have won the economics Nobel Prize. John Maynard Smith was awarded the Crafoord Prize for his application of evolutionary game theory."

This is pretty out of date. If I'm not mistaken the 2016 and 2020 Nobel Prizes were awarded for work in Game Theory. If someone is able to confirm this understanding, I suggest an edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.217.255.209 (talk) 23:57, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction should mention John Nash

The introduction mentions von Neumann and Morgenstern, but doesn't mention John Nash or Nash equilibria. It probably should, though. Macoroni (talk) 19:37, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
