Game Theory, Economics of Productive Consumption, and Positional Investing
Original language description
This paper explores game-theoretical models derived from the Nash bargaining problem, reinterpreted through the lens of investment resource and opportunity dynamics. By applying principles from the economics of productive consumption, the study redefines Pareto optimality and introduces the concept of positional investing — the transformation of wealth into a privilege that suppresses others’ opportunities. The paper demonstrates how positional investing reduces system efficiency and distinguishes between cooperative and non-cooperative game structures. Practical implications include identifying conditions for successful reforms, especially in areas tied to human capability development, such as pension system sustainability. The findings suggest a paradigm shift from “economics of position” to an “economics of opportunity”.
