negatiivisummapelistä
Negatiivisummapeli is a term used in game theory and economics to describe a specific type of cooperative game. In a negatiivisummapeli, the sum of the payoffs to all players is always negative, regardless of how the players choose to cooperate or distribute the outcomes. This means that any joint action or agreement, no matter how well-intentioned, will result in a net loss for the group as a whole.
The core concept is that the potential gains from cooperation are outweighed by inherent costs or losses.
Despite the negative sum nature, players might still engage in negotiations and attempt to form coalitions.
