Modeling as a Tool for Effective Economic Land Use Policy in the Moscow Agglomeration

Until now, stochastic models of interaction between two/three players have prevailed in land use issues. In most cases, only the result of calculating the profitability of a specific project related to land use issues was taken into account. However, often such research was in logical and economic isolation from other types of financial and economic activities that directly or indirectly affected land use issues. These circumstances determine the scientific relevance and practical significance of the research. The relevance increases even more in the context of intensive use of the mechanism for integrated development of territories. The purpose of this article is an analytical review of Russian and foreign practices in resolving conflict situations that arise in the decision-making process regarding the state’s implementation of economic policy for the development of the land use system. The article proposes to introduce and theorize the concepts: “universal player”, “composite-resulting player”, “implicit player with a market nature of interaction” and “implicit player with a non-market nature of interaction”, “pace of strategic interaction”, it is shown that these concepts are in scientific literature in the future may act as a key simplification of all models of competitive land use strategies. A broad overview of potential player interaction combinations is presented. The use of the game-theoretic analysis method is justified.
