More than words: Communication in intergroup conflicts
Leibbrandt, Andreas; Sääksvuori, Lauri - 2010
Numerous studies suggest that communication may be a universal means to mitigate collective action problems. In this … study, we challenge this view and show that the communication structure crucially determines whether communication mitigates … or intensifies the problem of collective action. We observe the effect of different communication structures on …

Generalized Contest Success Functions
Rai, Birendra K.; Sarin, Rajiv - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2007
The key element of models of contest is the Contest Success Function (CSF) which specifiesthe winning probabilities of agents. The existing axiomatizations of CSFs assume thatcontestants can make only one type of investment. This paper generalizes these axiomatizationsto the case where each...

Parametric Contest Success Functions
Rai, Birenda K.; Sarin, Rajiv - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2007
The key element of models of contest is the Contest Success Function (CSF) whichspecifies the winning probabilities of agents. We provide an axiomatization of two parametricfamilies of CSF’s. In the first, the winning probability of each agent depends onthe investments and a vector of...

Rules (of bidding) to generate equal stated profits: An axiomatic approach
Güth, Werner - 2010
Although one may hope to achieve equality of stated profits without enforcing it, one may not trust in such voluntary equality seeking and rather try to impose rules (of bidding) guaranteeing it. Our axiomatic approach is based on envy-free net trades according to bids which, together with the...

On the relationship between social distance and threat
Buba, Astrid C.; de Hoog, Natascha - 2009
We investigated the dependence of threat perception and reaction on social distance estimation. Social identity threat was imposed within a 2x2 between subjects design, with N=163 students reading a criticising comment about their ingroup assigned to originate from one of two possible outgroups....
