Game theory describes strategic interactions where success of players' actions depends on those of coplayers. In humans, substantial progress has been made at the neural level in characterizing the dopaminergic and frontostriatal mechanisms mediating such behavior. Here we combined computational modeling of strategic learning with a pathway approach to characterize association of strategic beha...

purpose: this paper has two main goals: first, to evaluate the position of geological survey of iran library through the assessment of internal (strengths and weaknesses) and external (opportunities and threats) environment; and then, provide solutions and strategies to help library managers and administrators to achieve their goals, missions and visions. methodology: among the existing models,...

This paper reports on the initial stages of research into the strategic leadership of primary school principals in New South Wales. Strategic leadership, a leadership dimension present in all leadership theories and perspectives, holds the key to effectively linking the actions of today with the future. This study draws on a theoretical framework derived from a comprehensive study undertaken in...

In this paper we study worldwide antidumping (AD) case filing patterns in order to determine the extent to which economic versus strategic incentives explain the behavior of countries employing AD actions. We compare four main hypotheses. Two are motivated by the BagwellStaiger (1990) model of special protection and are consistent with the view that AD actions are used to prevent unfair trade: ...

Mycotoxins severely threaten the health of humans and animals. For this reason, many countries have enforced regulations and recommendations to reduce the dietary exposure. However, even though regulatory actions must be based on solid scientific knowledge, many aspects of their toxicological activity are still poorly understood. In particular, deepening knowledge on the primal molecular events...

This article illustrates with numerous examples that the strategic principles of advertising management – and also its concepts and frameworks – are derived more from logic (by deduction) than from empirical generalizations (by induction). As argued by Rossiter in Marketing Theory (2001b, 2002), empirical generalizations are useful only when they are translated into strategic principles, which ...

Behavioral game theory models are important in organizing experimental data of strategic decision making. However, are subjects classified as behavioral types more predictable than unclassified subjects? Alternatively, how many predictable subjects await new behavioral models to describe them? In our experiments, subjects play simple guessing games against random opponents and are subsequently ...

Behavioral game theory models are important in organizing experimental data of strategic decision making. However, are subjects classified as behavioral types more predictable in their choices than unclassified subjects? Alternatively, how many subjects await new behavioral models to describe them? In our experiments, subjects play simple guessing games against random opponents and are subseque...
