Consumer innovation resistance and green technological innovation behavior : an evolutionary game approach

Li, Xingwei; Zhou, Guichuan; Yi, Beiyu - 2026

Green technology innovation (GTI) is crucial for enhancing the resource utilization of construction and demolition waste (CDW). However, consumer resistance to products made from recycled CDW significantly constrains their advancement. Existing studies largely emphasize government policies and...

Modeling audit outcomes under information asymmetry : a game-theoretic analysis of delay and fees

Ünal Uyar, Güler Ferhan; Terzioğlu, Mustafa; Kaya, Neylan - 2026

This study models the auditor-client relationship as a strategic game shaped by two-sided information asymmetry and examines how this structure influences key audit outcomes, namely audit delay and audit fees, in Türkiye. Using a game-theoretic framework complemented by empirical analysis, the...

Endowment inequality in common pool resource games : an experimental analysis

Milam, Garrett; Monaco, Andrew - 2026

This work addresses whether heterogeneity in player endowments influences investment decisions in common pool resource (CPR) games, shedding light on the relationship between inequality and economic decision making. We explore two theoretical avenues from behavioral economics-linear...

Monetary policy committees, independence, and influence

Colla de Robertis, Esteban - 2026

We develop a model of monetary policy committee decision-making, building on the framework of games played through agents (GPTA). Interest groups seek to influence policy by offering action-contingent contracts to committee members. The resulting equilibrium admits a simple characterization and...

Communication and standoff

Hafer, Catherine - 2026

This paper examines the potential for pre-play communication to shorten the duration of two-player incomplete-information wars of attrition. If players' types constitute costlessly verifiable information, then all types of players disclose their types, resulting in the war of attrition having...

Quadratic programming approach for Nash equilibrium computation in multiplayer imperfect-information games

Ganzfried, Sam - 2026

There has been significant recent progress in algorithms for approximation of Nash equilibrium in large two-player zero-sum imperfect-information games and exact computation of Nash equilibrium in multiplayer normal-form games. While counterfactual regret minimization and fictitious play are...

Strategy-proof mechanism design with boundedly rational agents : theory and experiment

Nishizaki, Katsuhiko - 2026

In a strategy-proof mechanism, implementation theory mostly assumes that each agent is rational in the sense that the agent reveals its true preference to induce its most preferred outcome. This assumption is sufficient to guarantee that the agent seeks such an outcome, but not necessary because...
