On the Heterogeneity of People’s (Dis)honest Behavior Along Two Dimensions : Cost of Lying and Cost of Acquiring Information

Barcelo, Helene - 2019

This paper studies lying in a novel context. Previous work has focused on situations in which people are either fully aware of the economic consequences of all available actions (e.g., die-under-cup paradigm), or they are uncertain, but this uncertainty cannot be cleared in any way (e.g.,...

Repeated games played in a network

Kinateder, Markus - 2008

Delayed perfect monitoring in an infinitely repeated discounted game is modelled by allocating the players to a connected and undirected network. Players observe their immediate neighbors' behavior only, but communicate over time the repeated game's history truthfully throughout the network. The...

Information Sharing Networks in Linear Quadratic Games

Currarini, Sergio; Feri, Francesco - 2013

We study the bilateral exchange of information in the context of linear quadratic games. An information structure is here represented by a non directed network, whose nodes are agents and whose links represent sharing agreements. We first study the equilibrium use of information in any given...

Strategic Communication under Persuasion Bias in Social Networks

Foerster, Manuel - 2015

We investigate the role of conflicting interests in a boundedly rational model of belief dynamics. Individuals have different preferences about the action to take, are subject to persuasion bias and repeatedly communicate with their neighbors in a social network. They communicate strategically...

The evolution of reputation-based cooperation in regular networks

Sasaki, Tatsuya; Yamamoto, Hitoshi; Okada, Isamu; … - In: Games 8 (2017) 1, pp. 1-16

. We comparatively analyze four of the leading moral assessment rules-shunning, image scoring, stern judging, and simple …. Discriminators rely on a proper moral assessment rule. By using individual-based models, we show that the four assessment rules are … among the four assessment rules in promoting cooperation in regular networks. …

On information aggregation and interim efficiency in networks

Jiménez-Martínez, Antonio - In: Games 8 (2017) 1, pp. 1-14

This paper considers a population of agents that are engaged in a listening network. The agents wish to match their actions to the true value of some uncertain (exogenous) parameter and to the actions of the other agents. Each agent begins with some initial information about the parameter and,...

The swing voter's curse in social networks

Buechel, Berno; Mechtenberg, Lydia - 2017

We study private communication in social networks prior to a majority vote on two alternative policies. Some (or all) agents receive a private imperfect signal about which policy is correct. They can, but need not, recommend a policy to their neighbors in the social network prior to the vote. We...

Movers and Shakers

Akerlof, Robert - 2015

Most projects, in most walks of life, require the participation of multiple parties. While it is difficult to unite individuals in a common endeavor, some people, whom we call “movers and shakers,” seem able to do it. The paper specifically examines moving and shaking of an investment...

Information Acquisition and Welfare in Network Games

Leister, C. Matthew - 2020

This paper studies information acquisition and use in network games. The network structure incorporates both strategic complements (positive links) and substitutes (negative links). An information-use game played on a correlation-adjusted network is derived. Equilibrium inefficiencies in both...
