Focusing on the linear quadratic game, we derive an analytical solution to the matrix Riccati equation, which yields analytical Nash-equilibrium strategies for all players. Based on the analytical strategies...

We study cooperative games in which the set of feasible coalitions is determined by the winning coalitions of a simple game. This type of game models real-life situations where certain agents have production capacities, while others possess the legal authority required to produce. In this paper, we characterize the Myerson value for this class of g...

This study examines climate-related financial risk issues, and introduces methods for estimating carbon beta and carbon Shap-ley values. The carbon beta measures how stock returns respond to a portfolio called Brown Minus Green (BMG), that holds a long position in less climate-friendly (brown) stocks and a short position in climate-friendly (green)...

In ‘Scorekeeping in a Language Game’, David Lewis famously compares conversations to playing baseball. Just like baseball, conversations have a score which, together with rules for correct play, determines which utterances are acceptable or even true in the course of a conversation. For all similarities, however, there is a crucial difference betwe...

Recent archaeological discoveries, as well as new readings of the epic, suggest that the poet of the Iliad was well aware of hero cult. The funeral of Patroklos in Iliad 23 has long been recognized as also representing the funeral of Achilles. But moving away from Neoanalysis and Neo-neoanalysis, I argue that the rituals Achilles performs on behalf...

Compression is at the heart of intelligence. A theoretically optimal way to compress any sequence of data is to find the shortest program that outputs that sequence and then halts. However, such 'Kolmogorov compression' is uncomputable, and code generating LLMs struggle to approximate this theoretical ideal, as it requires reasoning, planning and s...

How does institutional change take place? This question poses a number of challenges for scholars working in the New Institutional tradition. We first discuss how institutions have been conceptualized as either “rules of the game” or as “equilibria.” The rules of the game perspective suggests that institutions perform useful functions and change wh...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have exhibited impressive capabilities across numerous domains, yet they often struggle with complex reasoning and decision-making tasks. Decision-making games, which inherently require multifaceted reasoning logic, serve as ideal sandboxes for evaluating and enhancing the reasoning abilities of LLMs. In this work, we f...

This paper considers a class of stochastic nonzero-sum discrete-time dynamic games with networked players where each player has its own state dynamics which has the states of other players also entering with, however, some time delay. This delayed coupling makes this a nonstandard class of games where the existing theory does not apply, particularl...

Quantum game theory has emerged as a promising candidate to further the understanding of quantum correlations. Motivated by this, it is demonstrated that pure strategy Nash equilibria can be utilized as a mechanism to witness and determine quantum correlation. By combining quantum theory with Bayesian game theory, a constant-sum game is designed in...

This paper investigates effective strategies for dealing with workplace bullying perpetrated by a narcissistic boss. Adopting a game-theoretic framework, we propose a three-stage sequential game with a simultaneous form game, incorporating a war of attrition in the final stage.

Em Casa Grande e Senzala (1933), uma das obras fundadoras da análise sobre as relações coloniais e escravistas no Brasil, Gilberto Freyre relata um ditado popular no qual ele afirma que além das convenções sociais sobre a superioridade da mulher branca e a inferioridade da mulher negra, a preferência sexual dos homens pelas mulatas é indiscutível....

Évaluer des jeux et leur impact est devenu canonique. Évaluer avec un jeu l’est moins. Cet article introduit et compare trois approches de l’évaluation avec et sur des jeux utilisés dans des processus participatifs : 1/ l’évaluation du jeu lui-même par des moyens externes ; 2/ les jeux dits « endo-évaluatifs » qui ajoutent à leur finalité ludique o...

Cooperation is essential for human societies, but not all individuals cooperate to the same degree. This is typically attributed to individual motives - for example, to be prosocial or to avoid risks. Here, we investigate whether cooperative behavior can, in addition, reflect what people pay attention to and whether cooperation may therefore be inf...

Games have played a pivotal role in advancing artificial intelligence, with AI agents using sophisticated techniques to compete.

We initiate the study of simple games from the point of view of combinatorial topology. The starting premise is that the losing coalitions of a simple game can be identified with a simplicial complex. Various topological constructions and results from the theory of simplicial complexes then carry over to the setting of simple games. Examples are co...

This paper identifies a class of state-redundant games whose open-loop solution is a degenerate feedback one. The structure of the game features an instantaneous payoff which is at least cubic, and state equations linear in states and controls. The model can be used to illustrate games in the field of industrial organization and management, involvi...

Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR) algorithms are widely used to compute a Nash equilibrium (NE) in two-player zero-sum imperfect-information extensive-form games (IIGs). Among them, Predictive CFR$^+$ (PCFR$^+$) is particularly powerful, achieving an exceptionally fast empirical convergence rate via the prediction in many games. However, the...

Gamification in secondary economic education mainly aims to produce a more engaging learning environment. In the paper, we argue that the effect of the game elements used with students during lessons should reflect their value orientation. If we want to increase the efficacy of games used in secondary schools, we should choose the educational objec...

We present heuristically optimal strategies expressed by deep learning agents playing a simple avoidance game. We analyse the learning and behaviour of two agents within a symmetrical grid world that must cross paths to reach a target destination without crashing into each other or straying off of the grid world in the wrong direction. The agent po...

With the ubiquity of social networks, rumors spread easily, leading to increasing attention on their dissemination. In this context, the spread of rumors is influenced not only by the content of the information itself but also by the behavior of various actors over social networks.
