The role of cultural capital on the voluntary contributions to cultural goods : a differential game approach
Finocchiaro Castro, Massimo; Mazza, Isidoro; Romeo, Domenica - In: Games 12 (2021) 1/27, pp. 1-11
This study aims to offer a formal analysis which relates provision of cultural goods to the society's level of cultural capital. Such a level is assumed to already exist in society and is increasable thanks to individual support for the offer of cultural goods. The achievement of the highest...

A stochastic characterization of the capture zone in pursuit-evasion games
Battistini, Simone - In: Games 11 (2020) 4/54, pp. 1-10
Pursuit-evasion games are used to define guidance strategies for multi-agent planning problems. Although optimal … game space of a pursuit-evasion game under a stochastic perspective. The Mahalanobis distance is used as a metric to … determine the levels of confidence in the estimation of the Zero Effort Miss across the capture zone. This information can be …

Coordinating carbon emissions via production quantities : a differential game approach
Fruchter, Gila E.; Naseraldin, Hussein - In: Games 12 (2021) 1/15, pp. 1-16
Production emissions in the industrial sector are a major source of environmental pollution. In this paper, we explore how emission considerations are integrated with production decisions. We develop a dynamic model consisting of two firms located in the same industrial park, which satisfies...

A differential game for optimal water price management
Caravaggio, Andrea; De Cesare, Luigi; Di Liddo, Andrea - In: Games 14 (2023) 2, pp. 1-15
This article studies a leader-follower differential game with a finite horizon, where a single buyer reacts to the selling price set by an agency (water supplier). The Open-Loop Stackelberg equilibrium is calculated, assuming that the user demand is fully satisfied (that is, the interior...

(Un)bounded rationality in decision making and game theory : back to square one?
Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut - In: Games 1 (2010) 1, pp. 53-65
language enabling us to capture the process leading to what is “given” seems superior to the stenography of decision making in …

A modal logic of epistemic games
Lorini, Emiliano; Schwarzentruber, François - In: Games 1 (2010) 4, pp. 478-526
We propose some variants of a multi-modal of joint action, preference and knowledge that support reasoning about epistemic games in strategic form. The first part of the paper deals with games with complete information. We first provide syntactic proofs of some well-known theorems in the area of...

Computer solution to the game of pure strategy
Rhoads, Glenn C.; Bartholdi, Laurent - In: Games 3 (2012) 3, pp. 150-156
We numerically solve the classical "Game of Pure Strategy" using linear programming. We notice an intricate even-odd behaviour in the results of our computations that seems to encourage odd or maximal bids.

The dynamics of costly signaling
Wagner, Elliott O. - In: Games 4 (2013) 2, pp. 163-181
Costly signaling is a mechanism through which the honesty of signals can be secured in equilibrium, even in interactions where communicators have conflicting interests. This paper explores the dynamics of one such signaling game: Spence’s model of education. It is found that separating...

External pressure on alliances : what does the prisoners’ dilemma reveal?
Binner, Jane M.; Fletcher, Leslie R.; Kolokoltsov, Vassili - In: Games 4 (2013) 4, pp. 754-775
Prompted by a real-life observation in the UK retail market, a two-player Prisoners’ Dilemma model of an alliance between two firms is adapted to include the response of a rival firm, resulting in a version of a three-player Prisoners’ Dilemma. We use this to analyse the impact on the...

Schelling, von Neumann, and the event that didn’t occur
Field, Alexander James - In: Games 5 (2014) 1, pp. 53-89
Thomas Schelling was recognized by the Nobel Prize committee as a pioneer in the application of game theory and rational choice analysis to problems of politics and international relations. However, although he makes frequent references in his writings to this approach, his main explorations and...
