Leader and Follower Method
The leader and follower method, also known as the Stackelberg game, is a decision-making process where players within a hierarchy or decisions are logically thought out. This method is based on the saying of following the leader. Let us say a highly sought leader makes a decision based on better water management; then, the followers would then start to make healthier decisions about how they manage the water in their communities. In this study conducted by Pedram, Reza, Siam, and Hamed, the scientists focused on households in the urban setting since most water is used according to the Urban Households' Behavioral Model (UHBM). Applying this method to urban households and testing whether these new policies put on the water by leaders decreased or increased water usage results confirmed that the water demand decreased by raising prices.
