:נושא ההודעה constitutive of the players’ preferences punch.card. Добрый день, Пожалуйста, помогите понять, что значит "constitutive" в этом предложении: Games, in other words, are constitutive of the players’ preferences. Спасибо.A third concern about game theory as the foundation of the analysis of economic institutions and behavior is its narrow scope. Society is not well-modeled as a single game, or one with an unchanging structure. An approach to games that would be adequate to understanding society would have to take account of the following characteristics. Games are overlapping: people regularly participate in many distinct types of social interaction ranging from firms, to markets, to families, to citizen-state relationships, neighborhood associations, sports teams, and so on. Credit markets are often linked to labor and land markets, for example, and loan agreements that would be infeasible in a credit market taken in isolation may be possible when the borrower is also the employee of the lender, or the renter of his land, and in both cases subject to eviction should default occur. The overlapping character of games is also important because the structure of one game teaches the players lessons and imparts direction to cultural evolution, affecting not only how they play the game in subsequent periods but how they play the other games they are involved in. Citizens endowed with well-defined individual liberties and democratic rights in their relationship to their government may, for example, seek to invoke these in the workplace. Games, in other words, are constitutive of the players’ preferences. Furthermore, not only the players evolve; the rules do as well. The games are thus recursive in the sense that among the outcomes of some games are changes in the rules of this or other games. In the pages that follow, I will introduce overlapping and asymmetric games in the analysis of firms, credit markets, employment relationships, and class structure. Constitutive and recursive games will be used to analyze the coevolution of preferences and institutions.
