Game Theory Applications in International Trade Negotiations

Quick fact

The United States and China's trade war in 2018-2020 illustrates the classic 'tariff game' from game theory: both nations imposed tariffs, leading to higher prices and economic losses for both, replicating the Prisoner's Dilemma outcome.
