MAHKÛM İKİLEMİ OYUNUNU PREBİSCH-SİNGER HİPOTEZİ ÇERÇEVESİNDE YENİDEN DÜŞÜNMEK

Abstract

Son yıllarda Ortodoks iktisat teorilerinin varsayımlarına ilişkin yapılan eleştirilerin artması, heterodoks iktisat teorileri üreten çalışmalara olan ilgiyi arttırmıştır.  Bu bağlamda heterodoks iktisat, ortodoks iktisadın varsayımlarını eleştirerek, bu varsayımların önem arz ettiği uluslararası iktisat teorileri gibi alanlarda yeni çalışmalar üretmiştir. Heterodoks iktisat kapsamındaki bu teoriler, esnek varsayımlara uyarlanabilme ve kesinlik içermeme özelliklerinden dolayı ağ modelleri ve ajan-temelli modelleme gibi hesaplanabilir yöntemlerle analiz edilmeye uygun bulunmaktadır. Bu noktada oyun teorisi de tek başına veya sözü edilen analiz yöntemlerine yardımcı olarak kullanılabilecek yöntemlerden birisidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, heterodoks iktisadın esnek varsayımlarının uyarlanabileceği esnek yapıda ampirik analiz yöntemlerinin gelişmesine katkıda bulunmaktır. Bu amaçla, evrimsel oyun teorisi ve davranışsal oyun teorisi gibi yeni heterodoks iktisat okullarının gelişmesi ile ortodoks iktisadın varsayımlarından arındırılan oyun teorisi araç olarak kullanılacaktır. Bu çalışma kapsamında yapılacak uygulamada uluslararası ticaretin ifadesinde kullanılan mahkûm ikilemi oyunu kazanç matrisi Prebisch-Singer hipotezinin iddiasına göre yeniden düzenlenecektir. Böylece heterodoks iktisat teorileri için yeni geliştirilecek ampirik analizlerde kullanılacak hesaplanabilir yöntemler için bir davranış kuralı olarak oyun teorisinden daha geniş biçimde nasıl yararlanılabileceği de gösterilmiş olacaktır.

RETHINKING THE PRISONER’S DILEMMA GAME WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE PREBISCH-SINGER HYPOTHESIS

Abstract

In recent years, the increasing criticism of the assumptions of Orthodox economic theories has increased the interest in studies that produce heterodox economics theories. In this context, by criticizing the assumptions of orthodox economics, heterodox economics has produced new studies in areas such as international economic theories in which these assumptions are essential. These theories within heterodox economics are appropriate to be analyzed with computable methods such as network models and agent-based modeling because of their features of being adaptable to flexible assumptions and not including certainty. At this point, game theory is one of the methods that can be used alone or as an aid to the analysis methods mentioned. This study aims to contribute to the development of empirical analysis methods in a flexible structure in which the flexible assumptions of heterodox economics can be adapted. For this purpose, the game theory, which is purified from the assumptions of orthodox economics theories with the development of new Heterodox economics schools, such as the evolutionary game theory and behavioral game theory, will be used as a tool.  In the context of this study, "the prisoner's dilemma game gain matrix," which is used for the expression of international trade in the practice to be performed, will be rearranged according to the claim of the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis. By this means, it will also be shown how to utilize game theory more broadly as a behavioral rule for computational methods in newly developed empirical analyses for heterodox economics theories.
