The results of the experiments reported in chapters 1, 2 and 4 rely on the data collected via my Internet site: http://gametheory.tau.ac.il. Some of the results were published in: Ariel Rubinstein, ”Instinctive and Cognitive Reasoning: A Study of Response Times”, Economic Journal, 117 (2007), 1243–59. All of my publications are available to read and download from my webpage:

Introduction
In the sections Economics and Me, Economic Tales and Tellers of Tales, I drew from my lecture ”Micro-economic Theory: Miracles or Wonders”, The Israeli Academy of Sciences (December 1995).
The comparison of an economic model to a tale is based on the discussion in: Ariel Rubinstein, ”Dilemmas of an Economic Theorist”, Econometrica, 74 (2006), 865–83. See also: Robert Lucas, ”What Economists Do”, Unpublished Manuscript, University of Chicago (1988).
The illustration on page 17 is from Fairy Tales and Other Stories by Hans Christian Anderson (Humphrey Milford: Oxford University Press, 1914).
The economic model on page 18 is from my article ”Perfect Equilibrium in a Bargaining Model”, Econometrica, 50 (1982), 97–110. The Bargaining Tale is also based on this article.
The source of Hotelling’s main street model is: Harold Hotelling, ”Stability in Competition”, The Economic Journal, 39 (1929), 41–57.
The Tale of the Three Tailors was part of a lecture delivered in Israel under various names (for example: ”Comments on the Failure of Competitiveness” and ”Equality and Prosperity in Israeli Society”).
Chapter 1
The discussion about the response to the epidemic example is based on: Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, ”Rational Choice and the Framing of Decisions”, Journal of Business, 59 (1986), 261–78.
The example of the lost ticket is taken from: Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, ”Choices, Values, and Frames”, American Psychological, 39 (1984), 341–50.
The pen example is from: Itamar Simonson and Amos Tversky, ”Choice in Context: Tradeoff Contrast and Extremeness Aversion”, Journal of Marketing Research, 29 (1992), 281–95.
The camera example is similar to examples that appear in the following two papers: Joel Huber, John Payne and Christopher Puto, ”Adding Asymmetrically Dominated Alternatives: Violations of Regularity and the Similarity Hypothesis”, Journal of Consumer Research, 9 (1982), 90–98; and Eldar Shafir, Itamar Simonson and Amos Tversky, ”Reason-Based Choice”, Cognition, 49 (1993), 11–36.
The example of the dice is taken from: Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, ”Extensional versus Intuitive Reasoning”, Psychological Review, 91 (1984), 293–315.
Chapter 2
The initial part of this chapter is taken from a lecture entitled ”John Nash, Beautiful Mind and Game Theory, ” which I presented in twelve places during the period 2002–2007.
Sylvia Nasar’s book cited here is: A Beautiful Mind (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1998). See also: Sylvia Nasar, ”The Lost Years of a Nobel Laureate”, The New York Times (13 November 1994).
The Traveler’s Dilemma is taken from: Kaushik Basu, ”The Traveler’s Dilemma: Paradoxes of Rationality in Game Theory”, American Economic Review, 84 (1994), 391–95.
The treasure game is discussed in: Ariel Rubinstein, Amos Tversky and Dana Heller, ”Naïve Strategies in Competitive Games”, in Understanding Strategic Interaction: Essays in Honor of Reinhard Selten, ed. by Wulf Albers, Werner Güth, Peter Hammerstein, Benny Moldovanu and Eric van Damme (New York: Springer-Verlag, 1996), pp. 394–402.

Chapter 3
The presentation of the jungle economy in this chapter is based on the article: Michele Piccione and Ariel Rubinstein, ”Equilibrium in the Jungle”, Economic Journal, 117 (2007), 883–96.
In its initial version, the chapter was presented in a lecture entitled, ”Introduction to the Jungle Economy”, Tel Aviv University (May 2003).
The proof of the existence of competitive equilibrium is from David Gale and was published in the article: Lloyd Shapley and Herbert Scarf, ”On Cores and Indivisibility”, Journal of Mathematical Economics, 1 (1974), 23–37.
Chapter 4
The beginning of the chapter is based on a lecture I delivered to the Israeli Sociological Society in February 2001.
The chapter draws from the article: Jacob Glazer and Ariel Rubinstein, ”On the Pragmatics of Persuasion: A Game Theoretical Approach”, Theoretical Economics, 1 (2006), 395–410.
