Signaling, Extended Deterrence, and Regional Conflict Escalation: A Game Theory Model
… this theoretical puzzle, I set up a signaling game model which implements an extended deterrence situation. I solved the game for perfect Bayesian equilibrium and got seven equilibria, five of them pooling and two separating. Further examination of these equilibria revealed that only two …

Incentivizing Cooperation in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: An Experiment, A Coalition Game Theory Model, and OLSR Integration
… of this work is to provide a cooperation model in MANETs that is capable of surviving topology distortions caused by mobility, and is operable in practical distributed scenarios. Towards this goal, we first provide a study of the topology characteristics of MANETs based on real …

The development stories of equatorial Guinea and Botswana : a game theory model of how public-private partnerships can turn resources from a curse into a blessing
… applied in the last section derives from Game Theory, a branch of Economics increasingly adopted in applications to real-world circumstances. In this specific case, the results of this coordination exercise between public and private parties will present very different implications for a …

Game theory and real options : analysis of land value and strategic decisions in real estate development
This thesis investigates the use of the game theory and the real options theory in real estate development at the strategic level, trying empirically to explain different economic observations among different metropolitan cities and different property types. The real options theory provides a rich …

Mathematical models in evolutionary dynamics
We consider two mathematical models in evolutionary dynamics. The first model is an extension of an evolutionary game theory model proposed by Martin Nowak. We consider both a mean field deterministic approach and a weak noise stochastic approach, but the focus is on latter which is an uncommon …

Low-carbon transformation of the German and European electricity systems
… It applies techno-economic electricity sector models to research questions on market design and infrastructure investment. The first part consists of three chapters on Germany. It starts with a chapter on the nodal dispatch model for the German electricity system (ELMOD-DE) which implements the …

Two petro-states diverge: explaining the institutional evolution of Nigeria and Angola
… analytic narrative - the application of a game theoretic model to a historical puzzle to produce a thin explanation - and treats economic transactions as the key unit of analysis for understanding why particular outcomes obtain and not others. As a comparable site of analysis, I select the …

How do parents respond to changing ecological and social environments: insights from a coral reef fish with biparental care
… their parental investment. I developed a game theory model that provides predictions for how power and punishment influence negotiations between parents over offspring care. The model predicts that the threat of punishment by a powerful parent will result in greater partner effort and, as …

Ownership conflicts and their resolution
Game theory has been used to investigate a wide range of evolutionary questions, and has been important in explaining apparently selfish patterns in animal behaviour, and behaviours that do not appear to benefit the individual. The modelling chapters in this thesis develop new game theory …

Essays on the economics of renewable energy
… with choice experiments. Chapter Six is a game theory model of interactions between small renewable energy producers and a large dominant traditional power producer. This chapter develops a model which better represents the actual behaviour and functional operating environment of the green …

Cooperative Game Theory and Non-convex Optimization Analysis of Spectrum Sharing
… problem from two perspectives: cooperative game theory and non-convex optimization. We develop a cooperative game theory model to analyze a scenario where nodes in a multi-hop wireless network need to agree on a fair allocation of spectrum. We show that in high interference environments, the …

The quality of disclosure and governance and their effect on litigation risk
… litigation. In the first section, I present a game-theoretic model in which shareholders select from ex ante monitoring or ex post litigation mechanisms available to them in order to mitigate the agency problem. Firm characteristics determine the choice of which of these two mechanisms is …
