Game Theory / Economics

**How is the Stag Hunt Game _different_ from the Prisoners' Dilemma as an example of a _coordination problem_?**

In the Stag Hunt Game, players achieve the best outcome through mutual cooperation, focusing on trust as the primary element. The Prisoners' Dilemma, however, emphasizes the challenge of achieving mutual cooperation due to incentives to betray. Both illustrate coordination problems, but with differing natures of potential risk and reward in strategic interactions.

Game theory

Game theory is the research of how interdependent decisions made by economic agents result in outcomes that are consistent with their preferences (or utilities), even when none of the agents may have intended the particular outcomes in question. The non-expert will not understand the meaning of that kind of statement until each of the italicized words and phrases has been defined and used in examples. The primary goal of this paper will be to carry out this task.
