Signaling Game among Administrative Agents in the Integration Process of Urban Agglomerations in China

Abstract

Empirical studies on models of signaling games are reviewed, and game evolutionary characteristics of administrative agents in the integration process of Chinese urban agglomerations are briefly set forth in this article. Based on this, signaling game model of labor market from Spence is used for reference, and the model in which administrative agents build collaborative mechanism and enhance collaborative returns based on signaling game is constructed. Case analysis about integration of urban agglomeration of Yangzi River Delta indicates that signaling game among administrative agents is one of the factors influencing the integration of urban agglomeration of Yangzi River Delta. The result of game equilibrium shows that accumulated levels of collaborative information and transfer effects of collaborative signals among administrative agents accelerate the process of integration of urban agglomeration of Yangzi River Delta in China.
