Endangered Species and the Safe Minimum Standard
探讨了保护濒危物种的安全最低标准决策规则，指出该规则虽直观合理，但无法通过博弈论得到充分支持。
Abstract The safe minimum standard of conservation is a decision rule for problems like endangered species preservation that involve irreversibility and uncertainty. It has been motivated as the minimax‐loss solution to a two‐person game against nature. However, two equally plausible games can be used to model decisions involving endangered species. For one game, the safe minimum standard, and therefore preservation, is preferred. For the other game, extinction is preferred. Although the safe minimum standard is intuitively appealing, it cannot be motivated by game theory.
