Abstract

This chapter shows how the mathematical tools derived in Chap. 2 can be profitably exploited for modeling social interaction dynamics. The focus is on cooperative and competitive games among the members of a social population, which result in a modification of the well-being of the individuals due to a redistribution of their global wealth. External actions related to welfare policies are also considered in the modeling approach.
