Cooperation, Framing and Political Attitudes

Fosgaard, Toke R.; Hansen, Lars G.; Wengström, Erik - 2017

This paper shows that political attitudes are linked to cooperative behavior in an incentivized experiment with a large sample randomly drawn from the Danish population. However, this relationship depends on the way the experiment is framed. In the standard game in which subjects give to a...

Joint inference and counterfactual experimentation for impulse response functions by local projections

Jordà, Òscar - 2007

This paper provides three measures of the uncertainty associated to an impulse response path: (1) conditional confidence bands which isolate the uncertainty of individual response coefficients given the temporal path experienced up to that point; (2) response percentile bounds} which provide...

On an evolutionary foundation of neuroeconomics

Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2008

Neuroeconomics focuses on brain imaging studies mapping neural responses to choice behavior. Economic theory is concerned with choice behavior but it is silent on neural activities. We present a game theoretic model in which players are endowed with an additional structure - a simple ``nervous...

Truth-telling and Trust in Sender-receiver Games with Intervention

Gurdal, Mehmet Y.; Ozdogan, Ayca; Saglam, Ismail - 2011

Recent experimental studies find excessive truth-telling in strategic information transmission games with conflictive preferences. In this paper, we show that this phenomenon is more pronounced in sender-receiver games where a truthful regulator randomly intervenes. We also establish that...

On Efficiency and Stability in Two-way Flow Network with Small Decay: A Note

Charoensook, Banchongsan - 2022

Most literature in strategic network formation shows that there is a substantial tension between stability and efficiency. In this note, I show that such is not the case in the twoway flow model with small decay studied by Bala and Goyal (2000a) and De Jaegher and Kamphorst (2015). Specifically,...

Bi and Branching Strict Nash Networks in Two-way Flow Models: a Generalized Sufficient Condition

Charoensook, Banchongsan - 2018

Bi and branching networks are two classes of minimal networks often found in the literatures of two-way flow Strict Nash networks. Why so? In this paper, we answer this question by establishing a generalized condition that holds together many models in the literature, and then show that this...

Contagion in Stable Networks

Bougheas, Spiros - 2017

We study the formation of networks in environments where agents derive benefits from other agents directly linked to them but suffer losses through contagion when any agent on a path connected to them is hit by a shock. We first consider networks with undirected links (e.g. epidemics,...
