Смысл: The main idea is that while game theory and contract theory can mathematically design systems to minimize corruption by creating stable, non-cooperative equilibria, these models rely on the assumption of rational agents. The text highlights the gap between theoretical mathematical optimization of social behavior and the reality of systemic, irrational corruption.
Alexey Savvateev explains how game theory and contract theory can be used to design anti-corruption mechanisms, while noting that these mathematical models fail when offenders act irrationally.
Смысл: The text explores the anti-vaccination movement through the lens of game theory, arguing that refusing vaccination can be a 'rational' individual strategy (free-riding on others' immunity) even if it is detrimental to the group. It explains that psychological biases and social factors further shift the equilibrium away from the public health optimum.
Using game theory and robot allegories, the author explains why anti-vaccination is a rational (though socially harmful) individual strategy and how cognitive biases shift the population's equilibrium away from the health optimum.
Смысл: The author argues that pandemic-induced panic buying is a social coordination failure. By applying game theory, the text suggests that the most rational strategy is to maintain a modest reserve—enough to survive short-term peaks without triggering a systemic collapse that harms everyone.
Using the Prisoner's Dilemma, the author argues that buying modest reserves instead of hoarding protects individuals without crashing the supply chain.
