Dynamics of Positive Frequency Dependent Selection Triggers Selection for Silence by I. Hashem, V. De Buck, J. Van Impe

“…In this paper, by applying a solution concept from evolutionary game theory, we hypothesize that the process of emergence of such alleles triggers selection for silence, where the emergence of alleles that can stay unexpressed for a period of time will be favored by selection forces. …”

Price Cap Models in Pharmaceutical Online-to-Offline Supply Chains by Yi Zheng, Li Liu, Victor Shi, Bin Liu, Wenxing Huang

“…We focus on four price cap models: no price cap regulation, pharmaceutical manufacturer’s price cap regulation, pharmacy price cap regulation, and linkage price cap regulation. We apply game theory, investigate how the price cap regulations affect the firms’ pricing, and evaluate the economic performance and social welfare of the dual-channel pharmaceutical supply chain. …”

A Stackelberg-Game-Based Power Control Algorithm for Wireless Mesh Networks by Yanbing Liu, Tao Wu, Jun Huang, Shousheng Jia

“…In this paper, we address the problem of how to allocate the power for both optimizing quality of service (QoS) and saving the power consumption in WMNs based on the game theory. We first formulate the problem as a noncooperative game, in which the QoS attributes and the power of each node are defined as a utility function, and all the nodes attempt to maximize their own utility. …”

A Decision Model Assessing the Owner and Contractor’s Conflict Behaviors in Construction Projects by Guangdong Wu, Huanming Wang, Ruidong Chang

“…Considering the effects of the contractor’s conflict behaviors on the project benefit, a decision model between the owner and contractor’s conflict behaviors in construction projects was constructed using the principal-agent theory and game theory. The model was analyzed under nonconflicting and conflicting conditions, and a numerical simulation and example analysis were proposed to verify the constructed model’s conclusion. …”

Selection of emission reduction modes for energy-intensive enterprises under the dynamic carbon cap-and-trade regulation by Chunyi Ji, Binjia Chen, Wei Zhao, Xinyue Wang, Wuyong Qian

“…We construct a basic supply chain consisting of an energy-intensive manufacturer and a retailer and compare the equilibrium results under four scenarios of carbon reduction modes based on the Stackelberg game theory. The research results show that under each of the dynamic carbon allowance trading stages, the choice of emission reduction modes depends on the emission reduction level of ESCOs. …”

Day-Ahead and Intraday Economic Optimization Models of the Stackelberg Game Considering Source-Load Uncertainty by Ning Li, Weibo Liu, Xiaodong Wan, Xiu Ren, Haining Yu

“…In order to enhance the demand response rate on the demand side and the wind power accommodation rate on the supply side, as well as to curtail the operational cost effectively, this paper formulates a day-ahead and intraday economic dispatch model predicated on Stackelberg game theory. Within this model, specific attention is given to the influence of source-load uncertainties on energy prices, and the concept of the net load is incorporated during the intraday phase to meticulously calibrate intraday prices. …”

The Ordinary Legislative Procedure in the EU as an Example of Cooperative Practices by N. Yu. Kaveshnikov

“…The interaction of the EU institutions is aimed at aggregating a wide range of interests and ensuring the widest possible (preferably consensual) support for the policy. However, game theory reveals that the ordinary legislative procedure breeds competition between two co-legislators - the Council and the European Parliament - that seek to reflect their preferences within the legislative draft. …”
