Leveraging Behavioral Game Theory for the Study of International Relations

Abstract

Behavioral theories coincide with the intuition of tailored deterrence specifics of adversary matter - But BGT provides less definite predictions of adversary behavior than perfect rationality analysis. What is for the population of a given nations leadership? What are the appropriate EWA parameters? As, the defining BGT parameters are uncertain, the construction of optimal policies is not possible. Instead, robust policies should be pursued utilizing robust optimization, stochastic programming, or distributionally robust optimization techniques.
