Information guidance to human trader by machine trader in oligopoly market

Hiroshi Sato and Akira Namatame

Abstract
     Distributing limited resources efficiently by self-interested individual agents is a fundamental issue in many areas and is still an unsolved problem. In recent years, various approaches have been attempted to allocate efficient resources with the principle of the market-oriented mechanism which is based on an oligopoly game. In this paper, we develop the experimental environment for a repeated oligopoly game in which each player plays the game over time using the computer network. We report the results of experiments and discuss what kind of information will lead to collective performance that seems to be desirable in an asymmetric oligopoly market. By means of experiments, we confirmed that the ways of providing information guidance to each player can considerably improve the overall performance of the market.
