MBC Game Theory: Why Incentives Work
Game theory asks: in a system where everyone acts in self-interest, what outcome emerges?
MBC analyzed a 3-player game: Farmer {Accept, Informal} x Investor {Deploy, Hold} x Agent {Honest, Collude}. 8 strategy combinations.
Without MBC: Nash Equilibrium is the poverty trap. Farmer goes informal, investor holds capital, agent colludes. Everyone loses.
With MBC's mechanisms — satellite verification (farmer can't lie about crops), performance commissions (agent only earns after repayment), BIT protection (investor has legal recourse) — equilibrium shifts to optimal: Farmer accepts MBC, investor deploys, agent is honest. Everyone wins.
MBC doesn't hope incentives work. MBC proves it mathematically.
