The Stability of Price Dispersion under Seller and Consumer Learning

Hopkins, Ed; Seymour, Roberty M. - EconWPA - 2002

In many markets it is possible to find rival sellers charging different prices for the same good. Earlier research has attempted to explain this phenomenon by demonstrating the existence of dispersed price equilibria when consumers must make use of costly search to discover prices. We ask...

Interdependent Preference Formation

Kockesen, Levent; Ok, Efe A.; Sethi, Rajiv - EconWPA - 1997

A standard assumption in the economic approach to individual decision making is that people have independent preferences, that is, they care only about their absolute (material) payoffs. We study equilibria of the classic common pool resource extraction and public good games when some of the...

Evolution in Symmetric Incomplete Information Games

Amann, Erwin; Possajennikov, Alex - EconWPA - 2004

The paper compares two models of evolution in symmetric two-player games with incomplete information. One model … postulates that the type of a player is fixed, and evolution works within types. In the other model type-contingent strategies …

Cooperation in a Multi-Dimensional Local Interaction Model

Tieman, Alexander F.; Houba, Harold; Laan, Gerard van der - EconWPA - 1998

We consider a local interaction model with a population on an h dimensional torus, in which in each round of play a random player gets a learning draw. This player plays a k+1 action stage game with players in his neighborhood, compares his own average payoff with the average payoff of the...

A general model of best response adaptation

Berger, Ulrich - EconWPA - 2003

We develop a general model of best response adaptation in large populations for symmetric and asymmetric conflicts with role-switching. For special cases including the classical best response dynamics and the symmetrized best response dynamics we show that the set of Nash equilibria is...
