Application of Game-Theoretic Models in Law

Abstract

The article deals with the application of game theory models in jurisprudence. Although the problem of the application of interdisciplinary methods in law is currently very relevant, in modern Russian legal science, the theory of games has not received proper distribution. In the domestic scientific literature, there are mainly prerequisites for the use of a game-theoretic approach in law, but there is almost no further development of the idea of applying game theory in law. The author sets the task to identify some game-theoretic models that could be useful for jurisprudence. The article evaluates three legal game-theoretic models. These models were divided by the level of subjects participating in legal relations, which is demonstrated by examples. The study also searches for judicial practice in which game-theoretic elements can be found. As a result of the application of game-theoretic models, an analysis of legal relations was carried out, which indicates how the law can interfere in legal relations for more effective legal regulation. It is proved that game theory models are useful for jurisprudence, and the use of a game-theoretic approach in law needs to be developed.
