Noncooperative cost spanning tree games with budget restrictions

We extend the noncooperative game associated with the cost spanning tree problem introduced by Bergantiños and Lorenzo (Math Method Oper Res 59(2004), 393–403) to situations where agents have budget restrictions. We study the Nash equilibria, subgame perfect Nash equilibria, and strong Nash equilibria of this game. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 2008     

基于“效重比”的机载火控雷达研制费估算

机载电子设备研制费的估算是飞机费用预测的一大难题。近年来出现的基于设备静态效能的统计方法,将机载电子设备众多的特征参数综合成一个静态效能指数,并利用该指数和设备的重量(体积)、可靠性指标等参数进行统计分析。但是在实际应用中,常用的效能评估方法考虑因素不全面,且受主观性影响较大;同时,电子设备的效能指数和重量一般都表现出较强的相关性,不能并列作为费用估算变量。为此,在提出能力综合评估法代替常用的效能指数法的基础上,采用"效重比"作为一个综合性参数的思想,建立了基于"效重比"的机载火控雷达研制费用估算模型;并通过机载火控雷达研制费用的估算实例验证了模型的可用性。

How to Fight Terrorism: Alternatives to Deterrence

Deterrence has been a crucial element in fighting terrorism, both in actual politics and rational choice analyses of terrorism. But there are superior strategies to deterrence. One is to make terrorist attacks less attractive. Another to raise the opportunity cost - rather than the material cost - to terrorists. These alternative strategies effectively dissuade potential terrorists. The strategies suggested here build on the "benevolence" system and tend to produce a positive sum game among the interacting parties. In contrast, the deterrence system is based on "threats" and tends to produce a negative sum game interaction.     

Country survey VIII: Federal republic of Yugoslavia

This survey article focuses on defence economics issues and provides data and analysis on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's (FRY) defence policy, defence spending, the size of its armed forces, its defence industries and the cost of the civil war. The main section is devoted to the period from 1990 to the present and deals with the following aspects: the situation after the break‐up of the former Yugoslavia, general economic data; the cost of the civil war, the defence budget; the armed forces; the manufacture of armaments and the structure of the defence industry.
