We consider Merton's version of the Solow model Merton (1975), where capital per labor is assumed to follow the diffusion process: dk(t)=[sf(k(t))-(n lambda-sigma2)k(t)]dt sigmak(t)dW(t), with constant per capital savings rate s. Merton defined a golden rule in this context as one for which...

We study a game theoretic model of the conflict which arises between a monetary authority and the private sector with regard to the inflation-rate. Building on the simple static Barro and Gordon model, we assume that rather than playing a one shot game, the monetary authority and private sector...

We consider a continuous time framework featuring a central bank, private agents and a financial market. The central bank's objective is to maximize a functional, which measures the classical trade-off between output and inflation over time plus income from the sales of inflation indexed bonds...

An interpretation of the conflict between male and female parents during the process of caring for their common offspring by means of Game Theory was given in Houston and Davies. [A.I. Houston, N.B. Davies, The evolution of cooperation and life history in the dunnock Prunella modularis, in: R.M....

We combine and extend two existing lines of research in game theoretic studies of fisheries. The first line of research is the inclusion of the aspect of predation and the consideration of multi-species fisheries within classical game theoretic models of fisheries and goes back to Quirk and...

These are my Lecture Notes for a course in Game Theory which I taught in the Winter term 2003/04 at the University of Kaiserslautern. I am aware that the notes are not yet free of error and the manuscrip needs further improvement. I am happy about any comment on the notes

We study a class of differential public good games and show how static public good games can naturally be embedded into this class. This allows us to compare the outcomes in the static and the dynamic case. In the dynamic case we study the feedback Nah-equilibria and compare these to the Nash...

We study forwards and European call options, which are written on a non-storable renewable resource. Examples of such derivatives in form of futures on fresh catch of wild salmon for the US and the recently created Fish Pool market in Norway, where futures on a composite of wild catch and farmed...
