Teoria dos jogos aplicada ao mercado financeiro

Abstract

This work presents an introduction to Game Theory and the existence of a solution for a game in Pure Strategy and Mixed Strategy. Von Neumann's Minimax Theorem guarantees the existence of a solution by Nash's Equilibrium in Mixed Strategy for zero sum games. The determination of such solution results from the resolution of the Primal and Dual of a Linear Programming problem.

We will apply these studies in a hypothetical application in the stock market, based on collected data, with the goal of presenting an alternative way of decision making when facing of high-risk investments, which could support the most common and established methods in the financial market with the same purpose.
