How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T3910470 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: “Contributions to the Theory of Games” (editor)
Context triple: [Harold W. Kuhn, notableWork, “Contributions to the Theory of Games” (editor)]

A. Theory of Games and Economic Behavior
Theory of Games and Economic Behavior is a foundational 1944 book by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern that established game theory as a rigorous mathematical framework for analyzing strategic decision-making in economics.
B. Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays
Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays is a multi-volume book on combinatorial game theory that popularizes and systematically explores mathematical games and their underlying structures.
C. Game Theory (with Drew Fudenberg)
"Game Theory (with Drew Fudenberg)" is a widely used graduate-level textbook that provides a rigorous and comprehensive introduction to modern game theory and its applications in economics.
D. expected utility theory (with John von Neumann)
Expected utility theory (with John von Neumann) is a foundational framework in economics and decision theory that models how rational agents make choices under uncertainty by maximizing the expected value of a utility function.
E. Foundations of a General Theory of Sequential Decision Functions
Foundations of a General Theory of Sequential Decision Functions is a seminal work in statistics that established the mathematical foundations of sequential analysis and optimal decision-making under uncertainty.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
