Summary: Trust is crucial for economic, social, political, and cultural development. Understanding how trust emerges and evolves in a selfish population is a significant and challenging issue. This study explores the impact of reputation building and cost on the evolution of trust. It finds that trust and trustworthiness can still exist even with the cost of reputation building, and moderate willingness and cost for reputation building are beneficial for trust evolution.

Summary: This study quantitatively assessed the evolutionary game process among three functional space types in Henan Province, China, using the concept of game theory. The results showed significant spatiotemporal variation and spatial agglomeration in the game process among these three functional space types.

Summary: Informers play a significant role in cooperation behavior by labeling defectors and promoting cooperation. With an increasing proportion of informers, cooperation can be further enhanced, and there is an obvious threshold in the change of informers' proportion.

Summary: The demand for non-timber forest products, specifically game meat, has increased in the Czech Republic. However, the purchase prices of game have remained low despite the rising consumer prices of meat. This study analyzes the factors influencing consumer demand for game meat and proposes marketing strategies to increase its consumption.

Summary: In competitive markets, firms need to develop strategies for quality production, product pricing, and marketing efforts to sustain competition. This research uses a supply chain game to model the competition between two substitutable product supply chains. The findings suggest that competition intensity among supply chains leads to an increase in product quality level. In addition, comparisons with centralized settings and monopolistic markets are conducted, and the impact of asymmetric information about manufacturers' cost for quality production is explored in the competition between supply chains.

Summary: This study uses cooperative game theory and the Shapley value to address liability problems in which insolvent firms negotiate with creditors. The findings reveal that creditors benefit from increases in their claims and the asset value, while the impact on the firm depends on the configuration of liabilities. Additionally, creditors with larger claims benefit more from increases in the asset value.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the physical phenomenon of 'jerk' (or jolt), represented through a sudden change of acceleration, in the domain of game-playing. The study uses incomplete information games, such as card games, to explore the effects of 'jerk' on players' behavior, denoted as AD values. The findings show that different rules designs and game complexities have an impact on AD values, and relationships between attractive and addictive games are established.

Summary: As interdisciplinary students, we have a responsibility to share our values in order to achieve a future of game studies that is more equitable, sustainable, and transparent. We believe that achieving this future requires critiquing the relationship between industry and game-making practice, examining the sociopolitical landscape of game culture and the world, and focusing on the institution of the university itself.

Summary: This study uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) to investigate the role of cooperation and punishment in public goods game, finding that intermediate values of the weighting coefficient omega increase the input of punishment, leading to a decrease in cooperation. For low or high values of omega, only cooperators on the edge of clusters tend to punish defectors, thereby increasing the cooperation level of the population.

Summary: This study examines the role of individual factors and gaming-related factors in gaming disorder (GD). The results indicate that individual factors, such as self-control dimensions and motives for gaming, are more important in explaining GD than gaming-related factors, such as game genres and gaming platforms. Self-control deficits and motivation related to escape, coping, and competence can be important factors to consider in the prevention and treatment of GD.

Summary: This study introduces an uneven resource distribution network model to investigate cooperative behavior among players. The findings indicate that defectors may initially occupy resource-rich areas but struggle to survive in hostile environments, while cooperators continue to thrive. Furthermore, cooperative behavior is promoted when resources are substantially depleted.
