This paper studies the evolution of a population whose members use their social class to coor-dinate their actions in a simple tacit bargaining game.

Traditional game theoretic analysis often proposes the application of backward-induction and subgame-perfection as models of rational behavior in games with perfect information. However, there are many situations in which such application leads to counterintuitive results, casting doubts on the...

This paper is concerned with the realism of mechanisms that implement social choice functions in the traditional sense. Will agents actually play the equilibrium assumed by the analysis? As an example, we study convergence and stability prop-erties of Sjostrom's (1994) mechanism, on the...
