The collection's chief format is typed drafts of many of Shubik's scholarly publications, but there are also class notes, lecture notes, and two word-processing diskettes. There are only a few folders of correspondence; the most notable correspondents are Alvin Weinberg and Oskar Morgenstern. The materials document Shubik's career as an academic economist, a career noted for his contributions to game theory, corporate competition, and the study of financial institutions. Because the collection focuses on the early drafts of Shubik's writings, it is divided into separate series according to his major publications. In addition, the collection includes drafts of other publications, files from a gaming conference organized by Shubik, notes dating to his studies at Princeton University, and other files.
