As a knowledge-intensive financial enterprise, intellectual capital can play a significant driving role in enhancing the value of financial enterprises. Especially in the current unstable and complex international financial market, it is necessary for financial enterprises to actively consider the advantages of intellectual capital to shape their competitive edge and maximize profit value. However, it is also important to consider the issue of asymmetric information within the financial system, particularly the attitudes and behaviors in the strategic interactions between governments and financial enterprises. Therefore, this paper took the strict logical structure and analytical method of game theory as an effective analytical tool to solve the problem of asymmetric information in the economy and to use the asymmetric information game method to construct a mathematical model of intellectual capital in order to cope with the mistrust in the game process. Based on game theory, this paper systematically analyzed the factors influencing intellectual capital and constructed mathematical models of game theory for adverse selection ex-ante and moral hazard ex-post, analyzing strategic behavior. The research results indicated that, from the perspectives of market reactions and financing constraints, there is an issue of information asymmetry between the government and financial enterprises. The paper also presents viable strategic recommendations for alleviating information asymmetry and achieving coordinated allocation of information resources between government and enterprises.
