The paradoxical full-surplus-extraction (FE) result, which can impair the mechanism design paradigm, is a long-standing concern in the literature. We tackle this problem by experimentally testing the performance of an FE auction, which is a second-price (2P) auction with lotteries. In the FE...

An economic interpretation of Epictetus's precept of 'Taking away aversion from all things not in our power' consists of extending the do- main of indifference beyond its boundaries under non-ethical preferences, so as to yield indifference between outcomes differing only on things out- side...

We study an extended version of a sender-receiver signaling game-a context-signaling (CS) game that involves external contextual cues that provide information about a sender's private information state. A formal evolutionary analysis of the investigated CS game shows that ambiguous signaling...
