“Noncooperative dynamics in election interference”
New publication from our group in Physical Review E
journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1…
Led by @d_r_dewhurst and inspired by Russian interference in the 2016 election, we simulate the timeless competition between red and blue
This is the first study [that we know of] to explore models of election interference in a noncooperative setting [game theory flavor]
Result: our model predicts that countries defending their electoral process (blue) will bear far larger costs than malicious actors (red).
All-or-nothing mindsets by either country can result in an arms race that negatively affects both countries.
Mutually assured destruction aside, this was a super fun paper to work on!
33 figures, 72 citations, PRE FTW
