Mixed Strategies In The Mugging Game

Author

  • Robert Hoffmann

Abstract

This note is a contribution to the debate on Steven Brams's Theory of Moves. In particular, it aims to show that standard game-theoretic concepts can both account for and explain the statistics concerning mugging incidents that Brams presents to support the better predictive power of his own theory.
