Conflicts in Spatial Behaviour

Roger Vickerman

Chapter 5 in Spatial Economic Behaviour, 1980, pp 84-113 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The models of spatial behaviour developed so far have assumed that we can examine the behaviour of individual travellers, households or firms as if they were totally independent of all other decision-makers in the economy. Each individual decision-maker faces a set of influencing variables, the values of which are determined as states of the world, which he cannot alter. In the first instance he was assumed to have perfect knowledge of all these values and to take his decisions accordingly, but even when we introduced elements of uncertainty these were seen simply as a lack of the necessary knowledge of the true state of the world. The individual could gain by playing appropriate strategies but could not affect the actual outcome in terms of changing the final state of the world.
