Subgame Consistent Economic Optimization: An Advanced Cooperative Dynamic Game Analysis: Static & Dynamic Game Theory: Foundations & Applications

Autor David W.K. Yeung, Leon A. Petrosyan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 dec 2011
Various imperfections in existing market systems prevent the free market from serving as a truly efficient allocation mechanism, but optimization of economic activities provides an effective remedial measure. Cooperative optimization claims that socially optimal and individually rational solutions to decision problems involving strategic action over time exist. To ensure that cooperation will last throughout the agreement period, however, the stringent condition of subgame consistency is required.
This textbook presents a study of subgame consistent economic optimization, developing game-theoretic optimization techniques to establish the foundation for an effective policy menu to tackle the suboptimal behavior that the conventional market mechanism fails to resolve.

Recenzii

“The book is a comprehensive treatise on subgame consistent economic optimization. It is an important methodological contribution to the research on consistency and dynamic stability of cooperative strategies, developed originally by the authors. … The book is well organized and clear; moreover, it provides an extensive reference list to the relevant economic differential game literature.” (Bruno Viscolani, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2013)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The prevalence of imperfect structures, externalities, and imperfect information in existing market systems prevents the market from serving as an efficient mechanism for resource allocation. In the presence of such failures, optimization of economic activities provides an effective remedial measure. Cooperative optimization suggests the possibility of socially optimal and individually rational solutions to decision problems involving strategic action over time; however, to guarantee that cooperation will last throughout the agreement period, the stringent condition of subgame consistency is required.
This textbook presents a treatise on subgame consistent economic optimization, developing game-theoretic optimization techniques to establish the foundation for an effective policy menu to tackle sub-optimal circumstances that the conventional market mechanism fails to resolve. Topics covered include:
* dynamic optimization;
* group optimality and individual rationality;
* time (optimal-trajectory-subgame) consistent economic optimization;
* dynamic economic optimization under uncertainty and subgame consistency;
* dynamically stable joint ventures;
* collaborative environmental management;
* discrete-time subgame consistent economic optimization. 
This is the first book to thoroughly address the topic of subgame consistent economic optimization. It will be of particular interest as a research reference for game theorists, economists, mathematicians, policy makers, and corporate planners. With ample problems and exercises, it is also a useful text for graduate students in game theory.
