    As Editor-in-Chief of the INFORMS journal Decision Analysis, I wanted to let you know that the September issue has now been published.  The issue includes five papers, all of which deal in some way with game theory, cooperation, competition, or other multi-agent decisions.  See below for the list of titles and authors, and https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/deca.2020.0419 for a brief summary of the papers.  

    Enjoy reading, and consider submitting your work!  (Also, don't forget the upcoming special issue on emerging topics in health decision analysis, https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/deca.2020.0413.)
