Comparing various kinds of game formulations of purpose and non-purpose resource using problem
Incoming article date: 15.06.2015In this article the problem of purpose and non-purpose resource use is considered. In the system there are two elements each of which has some resource quality and he must allocate his own resource among public and private interests. Elements of the system may be equal one to other or they may be connected by leading-subordinating relationship. Besides, elements can enter into the coalition. By combining all various situations we obtain four possible cases. The first is when both elements are equal and don’t enter into the coalition. In this case there is a game in normal form in which Nash-equilibrium is found. The second is when both elements are equal and form the coalition. In this case Pareto-optimal set is found. The third is when one element subordinates to the other element without their union into the coalition. In this situation there is a hierarchical Г1 or Г2 game in which Stackelberg equilibrium is found or the Germeyer’s theorem is applied. The forth is when one element subordinates to the other element with their union into the coalition. The aim of investigation was to compare the influence of hierarchy, possible cooperation and different types of public and private activity functions of elements on the performance of purpose commitments. The research has shown that equality of elements is the better than hierarchy. Besides, elements assign more resources to the public purposes if they form the coalition.
