The Prisoner's Dilemma and Vehicle Safety Some Policy Implications

Author

  • Richard Tay

Abstract

Using the classic prisoner's dilemma framework in game theory, this paper argues that the current emphasis on occupant protection may result in a pareto inferior outcome. Shifting the relative emphasis from increasing occupant protection to non-aggressiveness of a vehicle, however, is likely to improve the environmental quality as well as reducing the road trauma. © The London School of Economics and the University of Bath 2002
