We provide the theoretical foundations for a new estimation algorithm that non-parametrically infers level-k beliefs from laboratory choices in generalized guessing games with heterogeneous interactions. The algorithm takes the strategic dependencies of the game and subjects' choices as an input...

Die Möglichkeit einer straferleichternden Selbstanzeige vor der Entdeckung durch Strafverfolgungsbehörden oder eines Straferlasses für geständige Angeklagte in Gerichtsverhandlungen ist weitverbreitet in den meisten Rechtssystemen. Die Diskussion in den Rechtswissenschaften konzentriert sich...

We study competition among market designers who create new trading platforms, when boundedly rational traders learn to select among them. We ask whether ‘Walrasian’ platforms, leading to market-clearing trading outcomes, will dominate the market in the long run. If several market designers...

We develop a framework to analyse stable cartelisation when firms can form multiple cartels. This contrasts with the existing literature which generally assumes, without further justification, that at most one cartel may form. We define cartelisation to be stable in the multiple cartels...

We provide a comparison of bidding behavior between multi-round and single-round auctions considering bid lettings for asphalt construction contracts. Using a reduced-form difference-in-difference approach as well as the nonparametric estimation technique proposed by Racine and Li (2004) we find...

We develop a framework to analyse stability of cartels in differentiated Cournot oligopolies when multiple cartels may exist in the market. The consideration of formation of multiple cartels is in direct contrast to the existing literature which assumes, without further justification, that at...

We examine the generally accepted hypothesis that directed reciprocity is a powerful driver for cooperation. To do so, we consider a framework where agents situated on a circle network interact with their neighbors and have the choice to be egoistic, altruistic, or partially cooperative. We...
