Games are particularly relevant for field research in agriculture, where alternative experimental designs can be costly and unfeasible. Games are also popular for non-experimental purposes such as recreating learning experiences and facilitating dialogue with local communities. After a systematic review of the literature, we found that the volume of published studies employing coordination and cooperation games increased during the 2000–2020 period. In recent years, more attention has been given to the areas of natural resource management, conservation, and ecology, particularly in regions important to agricultural sustainability. Other games, such as trust and risk games, have come to be regarded as standards of artefactual and framed field experiments in agriculture. Regardless of their scope, most games’ results are subject to criticism for their internal and external validity. In particular, a significant portion of the games reviewed here reveal recruitment biases towards women and provide few opportunities for continued impact assessment. However, games’ validity should be judged on a case-by-case basis. Specific cultural aspects of games might reflect the real context, and generalizing games’ conclusions to different settings is often constrained by cost and utility. Overall, games in agriculture could benefit from more significant, frequent, and inclusive experiments and data—all possibilities offered by digital technology. Present-day physical distance restrictions may accelerate this shift. New technologies and engaging mediums to approach farmers might present a turning point for integrating experimental and non-experimental games for agriculture in the 21st century.

Framed experiments and games are a useful medium to understand how context affects individual and group decision-making. They are particularly relevant for field research in agriculture, where alternative experimental designs can be costly and unfeasible. After a systematic review of the literature, we found that the volume of published studies employing coordination and cooperation games increased during the 2000-2020 period. In recent years, there has been greater attention given to natural resource management, conservation, and ecology areas, especially in strategic regions for agriculture sustainability. Other games, such as trust and risk games, have come to be regarded as standards of framed field experiments in agriculture. Regardless of sectoral focus, most games' results are subject to internal and external validity criticism. In particular, a significant portion of the games showed potential recruitment biases against women and no opportunities for a continued impact assessment. However, games' validity should be judged on a case-by-case basis. Specific cultural aspects of games might reflect the real context, and generalizing games' conclusions to different settings is often constrained by cost and utility. Overall, games in agriculture could benefit from more significant, frequent, and inclusive experiments and data – all possibilities offered by digital technology. Present-day physical distance restrictions may accelerate this shift. New technologies and engaging ways to approach farmers might represent a turning point for games in agriculture in the 21st century.

“…The total contribution will be multiplied by a factor and split evenly among all players. PGG is a impor-tant and widespread representation of group interactions [1], it plays an important role in a wide range of clusters, including the management of rural public goods [2,3,4,5], the voluntary contribution of social public goods [6,7,8,9], and the supply of international public goods [10,11,12,13,14,15]. It is necessary to study the stable supply of public goods.…”

New rural financial institutions play an important role in promoting rural economic development and improving rural financial services, and become an important force in rural financial supply. Although there are conflicts of interests between new rural financial institutions and traditional rural financial institutions in terms of customer resources and business operation, there are broad space for cooperation in the fields of capital, information and technology. Our study introduces a kind of effective fair mechanism, through the establishment of a new type of rural financial institutions and the traditional cooperative game model of rural financial institutions, explore the strategy choice between both sides, and from the decrease of the cost of cooperation, create a revenue increment, coordinate earnings ratio in different Angle is put forward, such as promote long-term and stable cooperation strategy recommendations. IntroductionNew rural financial institutions play an important role in promoting rural economic development and upgrading rural financial services, and become an important force in rural financial supply. Although there are conflicts of interest between the new rural financial institutions and traditional rural financial institutions in terms of customer resources and business operations, there is a broad space for cooperation in the fields of capital, information and technology. Rural financial products have certain characteristics of public goods. Therefore, in the game of rural financial institutions, the behavior of participants has a strong positive externality. Since the contribution of rural financial institutions will also bring lower returns, such behavior will lead to the mutiny of all participants, which is a "social dilemma of public goods." Our research introduces an effective fairness mechanism. By establishing a cooperative game model between new rural financial institutions and traditional rural financial institutions, we explore strategic choices between the two parties, and reduce cooperation costs, create revenue increments, and coordinate the proportion of revenue. And other different angles put forward strategic proposals to promote long-term stable cooperation between the two sides.Rural finance is the central link of the modern rural economy. It is an important force for comprehensively deepening rural reforms and accelerating agricultural modernization. It is a strong support under the new normal of "stable growth, structural adjustment, reform, and benefit for the people". At present, rural finance is still a weak node of China's entire financial system. Rural financial markets have problems such as insufficient financial supply and lagging financial service concepts, which have seriously affected the sustainable development of rural economy. China has adopted the "stock-based" reform model, and through the development of new rural financial institutions such as village banks and small loan companies, to some extent, it has solved the problems of imbalanced rural financia...
