This is a written assignment for the games & strategies module of Bsc Economics.
There are two parts to this assignment
1. Write a briefing document (1000 words), aimed at a general audience, that identifies and discusses strategic aspects of the topic neighbours and communities
Topic: Neighbours and Communities
Our neighbours, and members of our local community, affect our lives in a variety of ways. How is this interaction strategic, and what are the implications for cooperation or conflict between neighbours and within communities?
In the course of addressing this broad question, you may wish to discuss some of the following more specific issues: public spaces and local amenities, pollution, voluntary associations, school quality, public safety and criminal deterrence, urban versus rural communities, immigration, labour mobility, gentrification and neighbourhood decline, leasehold arrangements, and the renter versus owner-occupier distinction. (Attempting to discuss all of these issues is not recommended.)
If helpful for conceptualising the task, you could imagine the briefing note as a primer on strategic thinking for civil servants assigned to the Department for Communities and Local Government.
2. Strategic analysis : Provide an original analysis of a strategic situation (1500 words), targeted at an audience that has already studied elementary game theory at the level of ECN214.
The situation you examine may come from history, current affairs, your own personal experience, or some other source; but it is important that your subject matter be original. The situation can be hypothetical, but realism is valued and any invented scenario should be compelling.
First, describe the relevant features of the situation and translate them into the form of a game. In particular, think about the following questions:
• Who are the players in your game? Is there a role for “Nature”?
• What actions are available to the players, and in what sequence are these actions
taken? What information do the players have when they make their choices?
• What are the possible outcomes of the situation, and how do the players rank them? If relevant, what are the players’ risk preferences over the outcomes?
