    We explore the influence of cognitive ability and judgment on strategic behavior in the beauty contest game (where the Nash equilibrium action is zero). Using the level-k model of bounded rationality, cognitive ability and judgment both predict higher level strategic thinking. However, individuals with better judgment choose zero less frequently, and we uncover a novel dynamic mechanism that sheds light on this pattern. Taken together, our results indicate that fluid (i.e., analytical) intelligence is a primary driver of strategic level-k thinking, while facets of judgment that are distinct from fluid intelligence drive the lower inclination of high judgment individuals to choose zero.

  2. TSO coordination and strategic behaviour
    a game theoretical and simulation model study based on the German electricity grid
    Published: July 2024
    Publisher:  Constructor University Bremen, Bremen Energy Research (BER), Bremen

    The electricity grid includes multiple network areas managed by different operators, with transmission system operators (TSOs) handling high-voltage areas and distribution system operators managing midto low-voltage areas. These areas are... more

    The electricity grid includes multiple network areas managed by different operators, with transmission system operators (TSOs) handling high-voltage areas and distribution system operators managing midto low-voltage areas. These areas are interconnected and synchronized, creating classical external effects where one operator's actions impact others. Recently, high voltage direct current (HVDC) lines have been introduced, offering operators greater flexibility and control over power flows compared to conventional alternating current (AC) lines, thereby reducing congestion and losses. However, HVDC lines can significantly affect neighbouring grids, potentially leading to strategic behaviour by network operators. This paper examines the strategic use of HVDC lines, using a model-based approach on projected 2030 market data in the German electricity system. It finds that without explicit coordination mechanisms most hours result in incentives for non-cooperative outcomes, with only three hours within one year showing incentives for a cooperative outcome. Despite lower overall system costs with cooperation, asymmetric distribution of cooperation benefits prevents long-term cooperation. Thus, cost-revenuesharing schemes are needed to promote cooperation and balance benefits.

    John von Neumann (Budapest, 1903–Washington D.C., 1957) was an exceptional polymath, who made fundamental contributions to mathematical logics, functional analysis, quantum mechanics, game theory, computer architecture and automata theory. In this brief paper, I shall review the game-theoretic results of von Neumann and their legacy in an informal way.
