Strategic Game Dynamics
In business, sports, politics, and many other fields there are probably countless situations akin to the prisoner’s dilemma where players acting in their own self-interest do not produce an ideal outcome. Likewise, some player dynamics also illustrate other game theory concepts like a game of chicken, credible threats/commitments, and other similar concepts. Use at least one article from The Wall Street Journal to discuss a strategic situation between players that resembled or used any of the concepts above. What could have any of the players done differently to achieve a better outcome?
An interesting application of game theory in real-world strategic situations can be seen in the dynamics of the poker world, as discussed in Oliver Roeder’s Wall Street Journal article, “How Game Theory Changed Poker.” In this article, game theory is used to develop poker strategies through computer algorithms, focusing on creating less predictable betting patterns. By employing mixed strategies, poker players can prevent opponents from exploiting their patterns, much like in a multi-round Nash equilibrium in the prisoner’s dilemma (Cornell Blog Service).
Another compelling example comes from U.S.-China trade relations, where game theory models, such as those ]…
