Geopolitical Model of Investment Project Implementation

TL;DR

This paper presents a geopolitical model of investment project implementation involving two actors, a transport network, and various hubs, analyzing their interactions and profit optimization through a numerical example.

Contribution

It introduces a novel geopolitical model incorporating transport networks and multiple hub types for analyzing project implementation strategies.

Findings

Actors aim to maximize profit while satisfying demand.

The model demonstrates strategic interactions between geopolitical actors.

Numerical example illustrates the application of the model.

Abstract

Two geopolitical actors implement a geopolitical project that involves transportaion and storage of some commodities. They interact with each other through a transport network. The network consists of several interconnected vertices. Some of the vetrices are trading hubs, storage spaces, production hubs and goods buyers. Actors wish to satify the demand of buyers and recieve the highest possible profit subject to compromise solution principle. A numerical example is given.
