In this paper, we establish a dynamic game to allocate CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) to the members of a supply chain. We propose a model of a three-tier supply chain in a decentralized state which includes a supplier, a manufacturer and a retailer. For analyzing supply chain performance in decentralized state and the relationships between the members of the supply chain, we use a Stack...

This paper provides an explanation for an important institutional feature of staggered time-dependent adjustment rules assumed in a number of macroeconomic models. It identifies strategic complementarity as the crucial factor leading to nonsynchronized decisions in a game-theoretic framework. The paper first shows that nonsynchronization is the equilibrium outcome in an infinite-horizon game in...

Abstract-In this paper, correspondences are drawn between two game theory models (Nash noncooperative and Stackelberg games) and some problems in transportation systems modelling. An example of each is described in detail, namely the problem of carriers competing for intercity passenger travel and the signal optimization problem. The discussion serves to underline differences between two catego...

Cooperative advertising is an incentive offered by a manufacturer to influence retailers’ promotional decisions. We study a dynamic durable goods duopoly with a manufacturer and two independent and competing retailers. The manufacturer as a Stackelberg leader announces his wholesale prices and his shares of retailers’ advertising costs, and the retailers in response play a Nash differential gam...

We built and investigated analytically numerically a differential game model of Cournot oligopoly with consideration pollution for the general case symmetrical agents. conducted comparative analysis selfish agents’ behavior (a in normal form), their hierarchical organization (differential Stackelberg games), cooperation (optimal control problem) using individual collective indices relative effi...

In the Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) system, Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlying cellular networks can bring some advantages such as high data rates, low delay, low power consumption by reusing frequency bands with cellular user equipments (UEs). While at the same time, inter-cell and intra-cell interference is inevitable. The D2D users and cellular UEs will compete or cooper...

We consider multiple access games in which primary users are interested in maximizing their confidential data rate at the minimum possible transmission power and secondary users employ eavesdropping as a leverage to maximize their data rate to a common destination at minimum transmission energy. For the non-cooperative static game, Nash equilibria in pure and mixed strategies are derived and sh...

In the current study, a supply chain structure is considered consisting of duopolistic manufacturers and monopolistic retailer. structure, product two substitutable products deliver them to end customers. One sells his/her only through common retailer whereas another one directly customers as well Obviously, competitive behavior established in order price under chain. this point view, game-theo...

This paper, by comparing three potential energy trading systems, studies the feasibility of integrating a community energy storage (CES) device with consumer-owned photovoltaic (PV) systems for demand-side management of a residential neighborhood area network. We consider a fully-competitive CES operator in a non-cooperative Stackelberg game, a benevolent CES operator that has socially favorabl...

There has been significant recent interest in game theoretic approaches to security, with much of the recent research focused on utilizing the leader-follower Stackelberg game model; for example, these games are at the heart of major applications such as the ARMOR program deployed for security at the LAX airport since 2007 and the IRIS program in use by the US Federal Air Marshals (FAMS). The f...
