Q&A: The State’s Conduct in the Coronavirus Crisis According to Game Theory
The State’s Conduct in the Coronavirus Crisis According to Game Theory
Question
An article by Professor Eti Einerhorn, head of the accounting department at Tel Aviv University. She analyzes the behavior of the authorities vis-à-vis the public from the perspective of game theory.
She touches there on the issue of exposing information in all kinds of matters related to the coronavirus. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the article, and maybe also its mathematical appendices, even if you don’t agree. In any case, I’d be happy to read your opinion.

Answer
Nice, but the connection to reality is rather questionable. The government’s ability to control the data and hide it doesn’t really exist. You can, of course, conceal the protocols—and it is indeed very puzzling why they do so—but the information itself is in the hands of too many actors out there.
