Special issue in honor of Lloyd Shapley : seven topics in game theory

Abstract

The purpose of this special issue is to celebrate Lloyd Shapley the legend. We also remember Lloyd Shapley the man – and we begin the special issue with a remembrance section collecting together some recollections and facts about Lloyd's career. The bulk of the issue is devoted to current research that advances the Shapley research agenda. Our first contribution is Roberto Serrano's “Annotated Bibliography.” We believe this is the most complete guide to Lloyd Shapley's work ever compiled. Lloyd was famous, among other things, for publishing papers – significant ones – in obscure places, and in some cases not publishing them at all. Roberto and his research assistants have made a heroic effort to track it all down and tell us what it is about.
