Product Differentiation: Applying Game Theory to Politics by Logan Soich
Subject
Economics
Description
In this paper, I discuss how product differentiation models from game theory can be applied to the political arena. The paper briefly reviews partisan politics in the United States and then discusses product differentiation and the “linear city” product differentiation model. I then create a game to model the current Congress. The solved version of the game yields a prediction for the actions of the Republican-controlled Congress and President Obama.
