    • Game Theoretic Analysis of Persons, the Pharmaceutical Industry, and Donors in Disease Contraction and Recovery 

      Hausken, Kjell; Ncube, Mthuli (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Disease contraction and recovery depend on complex interaction between persons potentially contracting and recovering from the disease, the pharmaceutical industry potentially developing drugs, and donors potentially ...
    • A Game Theoretic Model of Adversaries and Media Manipulation 

      Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      A model is developed for two players exerting media manipulation efforts to support each of two actors who interact controversially. Early evidence may support one actor, while the full evidence emerging later may support ...
    • A Generalized Interest Rates Model with Scaling 

      Wang, Guizhou; Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The article introduces scaling and generalizes the Taylor (1993) interest rate rule from four terms to seven terms. The three additional terms are the deviation in money supply, the deviation in money velocity, and the ...
    • Governmental Combat of Migration Between Competing Terrorist Organisations 

      Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Each terrorist organisation is modelled with four coupled differential time equations for the evolution of ideologues, criminal mercenaries, captive participants, and capital sponsoring. Emigration of ideologues may cause ...
    • Governmental Taxation of Households Choosing Between a National Currency and a Cryptocurrency 

      Wang, Guizhou; Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04)
      A game between a representative household and a government was analyzed. The household chose which fractions of two currencies to hold, e.g., a national currency such as a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and a global ...
    • Hard Money and Fiat Money in an Inflationary World 

      Wang, Guizhou; Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-10)
      The purpose is to determine whether a borrower prefers to borrow hard and fiat money from a bank to buy other assets from a seller, whether the seller wants to sell, how the nontraders are impacted, and whether the bank ...
    • Insurgent attacks, government protection, and international intervention 

      Hausken, Kjell; Ncube, Mthuli (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12)
      A government failing to protect against insurgents may or may not be rescued by the international community. Classifying events during 1961-2012, we find that among the successful interventions, war occurs more often than ...
    • Interest Rates, the Taylor Rule, the Quantity Equation, and the Phillips Curve 

      Wang, Guizhou; Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      This article combines the Taylor rule, the Friedman’s Quantity Equation, and the Phillips curve to explore how deviations in the inflation rate, real GDP, money supply, money velocity, and the unemployment rate interact ...
    • Introducing Randomness into First-Order and Second-Order Deterministic Differential Equations 

      Moxnes, John Fredrik; Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)
      We incorporate randomness into deterministic theories and compare analytically and numerically some well-known stochastic theories: the Liouville process, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, and a process that is Gaussian and ...
    • Modeling which Factors Impact Interest Rates 

      Wang, Guizhou; Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Taylor (1993) rule for determining interest rates isgeneralized to account for three additional variables: The moneysupply, money velocity, and the unemployment rate. Thus, five pa-rameters, i.e. weights assigned to ...
    • The Shapley Value of Coalitions to Other Coalitions 

      Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09)
      The Shapley value for an n-person game is decomposed into a 2n × 2n value matrix giving the value of every coalition to every other coalition. The cell ϕIJ(v, N) in the symmetric matrix is positive, zero, or negative, ...
    • Two-Period Colonel Blotto Contest With Cumulative Investments Over Variable Assets With Resource Constraints 

      Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08)
      Two resource constrained players compete by investing in two assets which may increase or decrease in value over two periods. A player’s investment in period 1 carries over to period 2. If an asset is cheap in period 1, a ...
    • A Two-Period Decision Model for Central Bank Digital Currencies and Households 

      Wang, Guizhou; Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06)
      Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) give rise to many possibilities including those of negative interest rates. A two-period decision model is presented between one central bank and one representative household. The ...
    • A Two-Period Game Theoretic Model of Zero-Day Attacks with Stockpiling 

      Wang, Guizhou; Welburn, Jonathan William; Hausken, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12)
      In a two-period game, Player 1 produces zero-day exploits for immediate deployment or stockpiles for future deployment. In Period 2, Player 1 produces zero-day exploits for immediate deployment, supplemented by stockpiled ...
