„German economists are turning to game theory, the study of conflict and cooperation using mathematical models, to figure out what the EU’s best strategy might be. Should the EU hit back at Donald Trump’s tariffs, as China has done, or would that just make a bad situation worse? Game theory predicts that a trade war is the most likely outcome and could stick around for a long time.
