Abstract

In the paper, non-cooperative and cooperative versions of repeated rhomboidal games with hierarchical structure are investigated. In non-cooperative case as solution concept the Nash Equilibrium is considered. Moreover, a special subclass of Nash equilibrium, based on threat and punishment strategies, is derived. Additionally, we compute the Price of Anarchy (PoA) and the Price of Stability (PoS).
