Can endogenous group formation prevent coordination failure? A theoretical and experimental investigation

Raab, Philippe - 2005

This paper studies the effect of endogenous group formation on the outcome in two types of coordination games with multiple Pareto-ranked equilibria. Endogenous group formation means that in each period players are free to choose among two or more groups within which they want to play the...

Sleep Restriction Increases Coordination Failure

Castillo, Marco; Dickinson, David L. - 2020

When group outcomes depend on minimal effort (e.g., disease containment, work teams, or indigenous hunt success), a classic coordination problem exists. Using a well-established paradigm, we examine how a common cognitive state (insufficient sleep) impacts coordination outcomes. Our data...

Hybrid (Solo)Self-Employment and Upskilling: Is Online Platform Work a Path Towards Entrepreneurship?

Pouliakas, Konstantinos; Ranieri, Antonio - 2022

The increasing use of online labour platforms as intermediaries for finding work – known as crowdwork or gig work – is a new form of 'hybrid' (solo)self-employment that hinges on the borders of dependent and self-employment. In this study we use a novel international dataset of online...

College Attrition and the Dynamics of Information Revelation

Arcidiacono, Peter; Aucejo, Esteban; Maurel, Arnaud; … - 2023

We examine how informational frictions impact schooling and work outcomes. To do so, we estimate a dynamic structural model where individuals face uncertainty about their academic ability and productivity, which respectively determine their schooling utility and wages. Our framework accounts for...

The Complexity of Economic Policy: I. Restricted Local Optima in Tax Policy Design

Saint-Paul, Gilles - 2002

Economists traditionally tackle normative problems by computing optimal policy, i.e. the one that maximizes a social welfare function. In practice, however, a succession of marginal changes to a limited number of policy instruments are implemented, until no further improvement is feasible. I...
