Battaglini, Marco - 2016

This paper studies how interest groups allocate campaign contributions when congressmen are connected by social ties. We establish conditions for the existence of a unique Nash equilibrium in pure strategies for the contribution game and characterize the associated allocation of the interest...

Computing Markov Perfect Nash Equilibria : Numerical Implications of a Dynamic Differentiated Product Model

Pakes, Ariel - 1992

This paper provides an algorithm for computing Markov Perfect Nash Equilibria (Maskin and Tirole, 1988a and b) for dynamic models that allow for heterogeneity among firms and idiosyncratic (or firm specific) sources of uncertainty. It has two purposes. To illustrate the ability of such models to...

The Political Economy of Responses to COVID-19 in the U.S.A.

Cui, Zhihan; Heal, Geoffrey; Kunreuther, Howard; Liu, Lu - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

Social distancing via shelter-in-place strategies, and wearing masks, have emerged as the most effective non-pharmaceutical ways of combatting COVID-19. In the United States, choices about these policies are made by individual states. We develop a game-theoretic model and then test it...

Identification and Estimation of Discrete Games of Complete Information

Bajari, Patrick - 2004

We discuss the identification and estimation of discrete games of complete information. Following Bresnahan and Reiss (1990, 1991), a discrete game is a generalization of a standard discrete choice model where utility depends on the actions of other players. Using recent algorithms to compute...

Identification of Potential Games and Demand Models for Bundles

Fox, Jeremy T. - 2012

This paper studies nonparametric identification in binary choice games of complete information. We allow for correlated unobservables across players. We propose conditions under which the binary choice game is a so-called potential game and impose that the selected equilibrium maximizes its...

Intergenerational Mobility of Daughters and Marital Sorting : New Evidence from Imperial China

Keller, Wolfgang; Shiue, Carol H. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We study the role of marriage for women's intergenerational mobility during the Ming-Qing (1368-1911) period. Using … status information based on the timing of marriage from family histories in Central China, already in the early 1500s it is … status of biological and in-law families means that marriage accounts for more than one third of total intergenerational …

Changes in Marital Sorting : Theory and Evidence from the US

Chiappori, Pierre-André; Dias, Mónica Costa; Meghir, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

Positive assortative matching refers to the tendency of individuals with similar characteristics to form partnerships. Measuring the extent to which assortative matching differs between two economies is challenging when the marginal distributions of the characteristic along which sorting takes...
