This study aims to obtain a comparison between two biggest economic Country, and see they focus on games industry global market. In this study researchers took the data from secondary data in global market game then analyzed data quantitatively and objectively by comparing data with USA & China video game market as the subject. The result of this study expected to be used as recommendation for game developers in choosing which platform to focus in designing their games by following patterns of subject reference that has been existed, in accordance with a model in design business criteria.

The Stock Market Game in Post-war Britain

After World War II, the financial sector took a back seat in Britain’s political economy and Labour’s nationalization programme initially wiped out significant areas of investment. In the post-war decades it was common for politicians of all parties to attack stock market operators as harmful gamblers. This anti-finance rhetoric has obscured our view of retail investment in those years in the way that it became almost invisible from public debate—and a historiography—that was dominated by nationalized industries, Keynesian demand management, and the welfare state. If anything, contemporaries were and scholars have been preoccupied with the ‘Cult of Equity’, the rapid growth of institutional investment at that time. While more private individuals ventured into the stock market—there were approximately 3 million direct shareholders by the early 1960s—their share of listed equity was declining. Hence, the small investor’s comeback went unnoticed in comparison with the shift of pension funds and life insurance companies from bonds into equities once markets had recovered by the mid-1950s. Investors small and large made and lost fortunes in two unprecedented boom markets while the burgeoning climate of affluence and permissiveness loosened traditional reservation against financial securities. More and more middle-class Britons not only invested in equities as a means of retirement planning, but also discovered the stock market as a hobby that offered thrills of risk and reward similar to gambling.

Nash Social Welfare Approximation for Strategic Agents

We study the problem of allocating divisible resources to agents with different preferences. We analyze a market game known as Trading Post, first considered by Shapley and Shubik, where each agent gets a budget of virtual currency to bid on goods: after bids are placed, goods are allocated to players in proportion to their bids. In this setting, the agents choose their bids strategically, aiming to maximize their utility, and this gives rise to a game. We study the equilibrium allocations of this game, measuring the quality of an allocation via the Nash social welfare, the geometric mean of utilities (a measure of aggregate welfare that respects individual needs). We show that any Nash equilibrium of Trading Post approximates the optimal Nash welfare within a factor of two for all concave valuations, and the mechanism is essentially optimal for Leontief valuations.

El Turismo en el Espacio Andino: Colonialismo, Simulacro y Memoria.

The Andean world is underexploited for tourism due to both the lack of infrastructure and the lack of its development as a product. Still, tourism exists and is, in some places, overwhelming. As such, it establishes itself in a double market game: 1) it offers hotel infrastructures and tours that are clearly a product for foreign tourists, and 2) it recreates a whole discourse on heritage. The Andean tourism market has three self-contained aspects, which address 1) the indigenous world, either the historical or the present, although without confusing them or making a connection between them, 2) the colonial world, and 3) a high quality natural environment. This work, based on a critical decolonial view and ethnography developed from field work, analyzes the game between discourse and social practice from the point of view of both visitors and locals, thereby recreating some of its paradoxes and contradictions. This analysis, obviously from a decolonial and political view, attempts to recover the epistemology of the south.
