塞尔顿连锁店悖论及其解决方案研究

On Selten Chain-store Paradox and Its Solutions

"塞尔顿连锁店悖论"是一个与合理决策行动相关的疑难,1978年由诺贝尔经济学奖获得者塞尔顿最先提出,随后引起了学界的广泛讨论。学者们提出了许多解决该悖论的方案。然而,这些方案都在一定程度上存在缺陷。根据RZH解悖标准,克里普斯方向上的"均衡解"方案过于特设,劳伦斯方向上的解决方案排除了矛盾,但过于狭窄。

＂Selten Chain-store Paradox＂,named after the Nobel Prize winner Reinhard Selten in 1978,is a rational decision problem,which has generated wide discussion in academic circles.Many solutions to the paradox have been offered by scholars;however,all of them are not satisfying.According to the standard of RZH,the Kreps＇ approach is too ad hoc.Though the Lawrence＇s approach eliminates the contradiction,it is too narrow.
