GAME THEORY IN MODELLING THE COORDINATION OF ECONOMIC INTERESTS OF PARTICIPANTS IN A TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT ON THE BASIS OF CONCESSION

Nataliia Bondar Ievgeniia Sagaidak

Any concession project and its participants can be considered as an independent socioeconomic system, which is a subsystem of a lower level compared to a large economic level system and is characterized by the internal order of the elements of the whole, as well as the presence of a set of processes that lead to the establishment of connections between the elements of such a system. The objectives of the article are: to determine the components of the mechanism for coordinating interests; to substantiate the analytical process of coordinating the interests of concession project participants and the feasibility of using game theory at different stages of the process of coordinating the economic interests of PPP project participants. The article presents the composition of the concession project participants. The levels of coordination of economic interests are determined (state, concession company, market, territorial community, with the involvement of third parties (consultants)). The instruments for coordinating economic interests are systematized: legal, economic, socio-psychological, technological. Methods for coordinating economic interests through planning, monitoring, coordination, regulation and standardization are presented. The components of the model of the mechanism for coordinating the interests of concession project participants are presented, in particular: by levels of formation and coordination, by tools and methods of coordination. The components of the analytical process of coordinating the interests of concession project participants are presented: stages, procedures, operations. It is noted that the main method of studying the issue of coordinating economic interests is gametheoretic modeling. The feasibility of using game theory at different stages of the model of coordinating the economic interests of concession project participants is proven. Examples of using game theory elements in solving specific tasks of the model of coordinating the economic interests of concession project participants at different stages of its implementation are presented
