Abstract

Since its origins, when it was mainly connected to the field of economics, game theory has brought important theoretic insights into many domains. Besides biology, philosophy or computer science, its findings have been applied to various fields of public policy. One specific area of public policy is that of security. Within the last two decades we have been witnesses to a significant increase in efforts to model security issues using tools of game theory and to derive political implications. The paper deals with the model of a Stackelberg security game and its real-world applications in security domains. The main aim and purpose of the paper is to provide a survey of selected cases of real-world deployed applications of the game-theoretic Stackelberg model in the area of public security and, based on the literature analysis, to discuss the potential and limitations of the model for policy- and decision-makers that are dealing with security measures on various governmental levels. Existing cases clearly indicate that the model can contribute to a better design and implementation of the security policy and help implement a better allocation of resources and thus potentially improve the effectiveness of security measures. On the other hand, the paper also discusses some limitations and potential future adjustments of the model together with points for further research.

在公共领域使用博弈论：安全博弈的潜力和局限性

摘要

自起源以来，当它主要与经济学领域相关时，博弈论已将重要的理论见解带入了许多领域。除生物学，哲学或计算机科学外，其发现还应用于公共政策的各个领域。公共政策的一个特定领域是安全领域。在过去的二十年中，我们见证了使用博弈论工具对安全问题进行建模并产生政治影响的努力显着增加。本文讨论了Stackelberg安全游戏的模型及其在安全领域中的实际应用。本文的主要目的和目的是对公共安全领域博弈论的Stackelberg模型在现实世界中部署的应用的选定案例进行调查，并根据文献分析，讨论该模型对于处理各级政府安全措施的政策制定者和决策者的潜力和局限性。现有案例清楚地表明，该模型可以有助于更好地设计和实施安全策略，并有助于实现更好的资源分配，从而有可能提高安全措施的有效性。另一方面，本文还讨论了该模型的一些局限性和潜在的未来调整，以及需要进一步研究的要点。现有案例清楚地表明，该模型可以有助于更好地设计和实施安全策略，并有助于实现更好的资源分配，从而有可能提高安全措施的有效性。另一方面，本文还讨论了该模型的一些局限性和潜在的未来调整，以及需要进一步研究的要点。现有案例清楚地表明，该模型可以有助于更好地设计和实施安全策略，并有助于实现更好的资源分配，从而有可能提高安全措施的有效性。另一方面，本文还讨论了该模型的一些局限性和潜在的未来调整，以及需要进一步研究的要点。
