Review on Game Theory Applied to Water Resource Conflicts
Compared with traditional quantitative analysis methods and optimization methods,game theory could i-dentify and interpret the behaviors of parties in water resource conflicts and describe the interactions among different parties.By comprehensively summarizing literatures,we make a review on the application of game theory to water resource conflicts from the perspectives of water allocation conflicts,trans-boundary water pollution conflicts and co-ordination mechanisms of water resource conflicts.In addition,some research prospects are proposed:macro-con-trol of market economy is encouraged to be used to solve the conflict between water quality and water quantity;quantitative research on the allocation of initial water right needs to be intensified.
