Description

This dataset supports the review “Evidence and validation for applying game theory to international river management”. It contains the published Harirud payoff matrix and allocation-scenario percentages from Mirzaei-Nodoushan et al. (2022; DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-07971-1), together with Python code and deterministic outputs for unilateral-deviation, equilibrium and bounded-perturbation checks. Published numerical values are unchanged and their source is attributed. These are model outputs, not new field observations or a replication of the original hydrological model. ChatGPT assisted development of the code and documentation; no AI model is used at runtime. Individual file descriptions and reproduction instructions accompany the archive.

Steps to reproduce

Extract the archive and run the following command with Python 3: python scripts/check_payoffs.py harirud_published_payoffs.json output.json Only the Python standard library is required.
