not for a complicated real life situation like this. I suggest politicians

| c*******s 发帖数: 163 | 4 I agree with you that there are limitations in Game Theory. One may be more
disppointed if he/she learns the micro-foundation of Game Theory through the
venue of Rational Choice.
However, I don't agree with the suggestion you make. Granted, the strategic
interaction in negotiation is vital to political outcomes. However,
negotiations strategy like the ones you suggest can hardly explain the full
dynamics in political spectrum, leaving alone the understanding and conjecture
of potential outcomes. | r******s 发帖数: 2155 | 5
conjecture
Here are some of the problems of game theory that may be addressed by
negotiation framework.
1. Assumption of self-interest rationality. If this were true, then each side
has to protect him/herself because otherwise the other side will take
advantage. This leaves besically no option other than strike first before
learning the other's choice for sure. Furthermore, this leaves no room for
mutual gain or an integrative solution. Roger Fisher's work and many others

| c*******s 发帖数: 163 | 6 I am not sure whether there is some misunderstanding here:
The negotiation strategies are only for engaging parties, allowing them to
achieve their objectives. Game theory, on the other hand, is for both
"bystanders" and "engaging parties" to understand strategic interactions as
well as to posit potential outcomes. The appealing part of using Game Theory
as the tool to analyze a situation, so-called a "game", is the quest for an
equilibrium or equilibria, if there is one. I am not sure if any ne

It's nonobvious how does your second sentence follow from the first.
There are many many cases where one could stand to benefit from gain
of your "opponent" (a classical case being iterated prisoners' dilemma).
"Nonzero sum games" have certainly been studied extensively in Game Theory.
I'm not certain what's meant here. Multiple outcomes can often (if
not always?) be reduced to single outcome. It's only a matter of
formulation, not a fundamental limitation of Game Theory.
Two points:

【to restless】
1)呵呵, game theory 不是一个paradigm啊,这个好象有几位很著名的政治学家都强调
过的,game theory (或是更广泛的--实证政治理论)只是一种方法(methodology),它
只是提供了一个deductive的工具。按照Lakatos的那一套东东,Game
Theory可以作为paradigm的辅助工具。首先由几个core assumption,然后利用game
theory deduce出来testable hypothesis,再用empirical的东西验证。举个例子,IR中
的neo-R和neo-L关于relative gains 和 absolute gains的争论都在用game theory,因
为它是 paradigm-independent的。
2)呵呵,还有 game theory的影响好像也不止于negotiation 和joint decision
making,就像1)里说的那样,它的dedective power对于IR整个 | r******s 发帖数: 2155 | 9 My post was pretty clear about my position on this.
The Art of War is the opposite of what I was suggesting. Many people use
sports or war to analog negotiation or joint decision making (e.g, in Taiwan
issue). Essentially it's very different. In war or sports, your foremost
objective is to win, while in negotiation, the most productive mindset is
create a solution that is acceptable to all parties involved.
Game paradigm has its own value in many ways, but not very useful for

, 骗对手玩下去,却能得到比rational play更大的payoff。不过就有一个risk和
uncertainty的问题了。

一是故意装作irrational来骗赵军倾巢而出,从而用奇兵攻占赵军的老巢全歼赵军
(当然“置之死地而后生”是另一个方面)。之所以是irrational,是因为common

的非SPNE的strategy,第一个player如果rational应该马上结束游戏,但是这样的
payoff比较少,如果他装作irrational欺骗第二个player玩下去,那他可能获得更
大的payoff。

Prescriptive solutions from game theory are not applicable to complicated real
life events such as Taiwan issue.
Talk is cheap. Why don't you take a shot at the Trust game I provided. You
tell me the best solution from game theory and I'll tell you what behavioral
science says about it. Let examples speak.
