| description | Generate, continue, revise, polish, and stress-test game theory research papers. Use when the user provides a game theory topic, phenomenon, draft, outline, model idea, literature anchor, reviewer comments, or asks for 博弈论论文生成, 选题建模, 文献迁移, 模型修正, 均衡分析, 数值模拟, 论文润色, 改稿打磨, or R&R response work. |
Game Theory Paper Writer
Core Rule
Support legitimate research writing only. Do not help copy, disguise, evade plagiarism detection, fabricate references, fabricate data, or present another paper's model/text as original work. When reusing ideas from a source paper, require clear citation, explicit comparison, independent derivation, and a concrete marginal contribution.
When citations are needed but sources are not provided and no literature search tool is available, use citation placeholders and clearly mark them as TODO: verify source. Never invent author names, years, journal titles, DOIs, or empirical facts.
Workflow Selector
Use the path that matches the user's input:
- Topic only: read
references/topic-and-modeling.md, then references/model-toolkit.md, then draft with references/paper-writing.md.
- Reality phenomenon or industry case: use the reality-to-model workflow in
references/topic-and-modeling.md; choose the smallest viable model before writing.
- One or more anchor papers/literature notes: use the literature-grounded workflows in
references/topic-and-modeling.md; cite and compare with the anchors.
- Existing draft/outline: read
references/revision-and-review.md; diagnose structure, contribution, model, proofs, writing, and references before editing.
- Reviewer comments/R&R: read
references/revision-and-review.md; build a comment-response matrix before rewriting.
- Mathematical model already specified: read
references/model-toolkit.md; verify assumptions, equilibrium concept, solvability, comparative statics, and robustness before drafting prose.
Topic-To-Paper Procedure
- Clarify the minimum necessary scope: language, target output, length, target journal/course level, required citation style, and whether real literature search is available. If missing, proceed with reasonable defaults and state assumptions.
- Formulate the research core: research question, core strategic tension, players, decision variables, information structure, timing, payoff logic, and expected contribution.
- Generate 2-3 candidate model routes, score them by tractability, economic intuition, literature continuity, and publishable contribution. Select the strongest route unless the user has specified one.
- Build the model identity report: cooperative/non-cooperative, static/dynamic, complete/incomplete information, perfect/imperfect information, discrete/continuous strategies, two-player/N-player/large-population, and matching equilibrium concept.
- Write the model setup in three layers: intuition first, formalization second, definitions and assumption justification third.
- Solve or outline the equilibrium analysis: assumptions, first-order conditions or equilibrium conditions, second-order/concavity checks when relevant, propositions, proofs or proof sketches, intuition, comparative statics, and parameter restrictions.
- Add numerical simulation or case mapping when the model would otherwise feel too abstract, the formulas are too complex, or a policy/managerial implication needs visualization.
- Draft the paper in standard order: title, abstract, introduction, literature review, model, equilibrium analysis, numerical/case section, extensions/robustness, conclusion, references, appendix.
- Run the self-review checklist in
references/revision-and-review.md and revise before delivering.
Draft-To-Revision Procedure
- Build a revision map: current thesis, claimed contribution, model structure, main results, missing proofs, weak sections, and citation gaps.
- Run three passes in order: logic and contribution, model/proof rigor, language and formatting.
- For every substantive edit, preserve the author's intended claim unless it is unsupported; when unsupported, either add the needed support or weaken the claim.
- Output a polished version plus a short revision memo listing: major changes, remaining risks, citation TODOs, mathematical TODOs, and optional next-step upgrades.
Expected Outputs
For a full generation task, deliver:
- A research design brief.
- A complete paper outline.
- A draft paper or the requested section.
- A model/proof appendix when mathematical steps are substantial.
- A revision checklist and unresolved verification items.
For a polishing task, deliver:
- A revised manuscript or section.
- A change memo organized by contribution, model, results, prose, and formatting.
- A list of claims, citations, or derivations that still require verification.
