Game theory is a branch of applied mathematics whose aim is to model and study decision making in conflicting situations. In these situations, the main goal is to choose the best strategy for all the players in the game, that is, to find the equilibrium solutions. Game theory can...

Since 1944, when it was published the first book by John Von Neumann about Game Theory, the application field is growing very fast year after year. At the begin the theory was widely used to predict Macroeconomics behavior but nowadays there are several studies in different areas...

Recent theoretical advances have dramatically increased the relevance of game theory for predicting human behavior in interactive situations. By relaxing the classical assumptions of perfect rationality and perfect foresight, we obtain much improved explanations of initial de...

This methodological and normative thesis extends the modern economic valuation theory of projects under uncertainty, known as real options theory, from the point of view of an oil company that optimizes the allocation of investment and resources. The real options theory is combin...

We examine decision making in two-person extensive form game trees using nine treatments that vary matching protocol, payoffs, and payoff information. Our objective is to establish replicable principles of cooperative versus noncooperative behavior that involve the use of sig...

We use an extensive form two-person game as the basis for two experiments designed to compare the behavior of two groups of subjects with each other and with the subgame perfect theoretical prediction in an anonymous interaction protocol. The two subject groups are undergraduates...

Due to the introduction of competition in the energy industry, it has become very important to determine and quantify the responsibility of each agent in transmission system losses, as well as to determine the participation of each generator to the loads. In this thesis, through ...

Seeking to conduct an inventory of the arguments used by game theory proponents, the article assesses both this theory and a set of theoretical principles that extend the scope from rational choice to interdependent decision-making and a type of formal methodology. The article id...

By around the age of 4 years, children “can work out what people might know, think or believe” based on what they say or do. This is called “mindreading,” which builds upon the human ability to infer the intentions of others. Game theory makes a strong assumption about what i...

Two experimental tasks in psychology, the two-stage gambling game and the Prisoner's Dilemma game, show that people violate the sure thing principle of decision theory. These paradoxical findings have resisted explanation by classical decision theory for over a decade. A quantum ...

Theories developed to explain the processes that govern the assembly and composition of natural plant communities can be divided into two broad categories. Niche-based theories propose that coevolutionary changes among species lead to character divergence (displacement), which al...

The Massive Multiplayers On-line Game, a popularity worldwide communicational phenomenon are rapidly becoming an important socialization mechanism of all age people, nationality, ethnics and cultures. The object of this research is the Massive Multiplayer on-line Game Ragnarok on...

In Vladimir Nabokov s novel, The Luzhin Defense, published in Russian in 1930, the text beckons the reader on to adopt mental processes similar to a chess player s and a schizophrenic person s both traits of the novel s title character. This character sees himself both as player ...

The national taxation issue is fundamental to understand how the Brazilian market is structured. The micro and small enterprises, which correspond to nearly the total number of enterprises in our country, were contemplated with a new law that tries to facilitate the legalization ...

The Political Scienceâs formalization process, mainly in the second half of the 20th century, still finds some resistance from large groups of the fieldâs scientific community. This work aims to expose the use of game theory (GT), main Political Scienceâs methodological tool of f...

The aim of this work is investigate the possibility of introducing the Game Theory of John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern in High School and how it could be done. To reach this objective, we elaborate a didactic sequence that was applied on three groups of 3rd year of High Sch...
