Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite submissions for a Special Issue dedicated to the applications and advancements of game theory in economics and operations research. Game theory has become a fundamental tool in analyzing strategic interactions across diverse contexts, from markets and supply chains to policy design and resource allocation. With the growing complexity of global economic and operational systems, there is a pressing need for innovative theoretical insights and practical applications that leverage game-theoretic models.

This Special Issue seeks high-quality research articles that advance our understanding of how game theory can be applied to contemporary challenges in economics and operations research. Both theoretical contributions and applied studies are welcome.

All manuscripts will undergo rigorous peer review. Accepted papers will be published in this Special Issue and will contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of game theory in shaping economic decision-making and operational efficiency.
