A non-linear coopetitive game for global green economy

Carfì, David and Trunfio, Alessandra (2011): A non-linear coopetitive game for global green economy. Forthcoming in:

Abstract

The paper aims at providing a non-linear Game Theory model of coopetition which addresses the problem of the global Green Economy. We apply the notion of coopetition at country level, instead of microeconomic firm level. The country has to decide whether it wants to collaborate with the rest of the world in getting an efficient Green Economy, even if the country is competing in the global scenario. Our non-linear model will provide different win-win solutions which are going to show the convenience for each country to participate actively to a program of sustainability and efficient resource allocation within a non-linear coopetitive framework. Our coopetitive model is non-linear with respect to each strategy of the game.
