Political motivations and electoral competition : equilibrium analysis and experimental evidence

Drouvelis, Michalis; Saporiti, Alejandro; Vriend, … - 2013

We study both theoretically and experimentally the set of Nash equilibria of a classical one-dimensional election game with two candidates. These candidates are interested in power and ideology, but their weights on these two motives are not necessarily identical. Apart from obtaining the well...

An Experimental Study of Credible Deviations and ACDC

de Groot Ruiz, Adrian - 2012

We test the Average Credible Deviation Criterion (ACDC), a stability measure and refinement for cheap talk equilibria introduced in De Groot Ruiz, Offerman & Onderstal (2012a). ACDC has been shown to be predictive under general conditions and to organize data well in previous experiments meant...

Testing Guilt Aversion with an Exogenous Shift in Beliefs

Khalmetski, Kiryl - 2015

We conduct a laboratory experiment to test whether subjects tend to meet the expectations of others (the guilt aversion hypothesis). The specificity of our approach is that second-order beliefs are manipulated exogenously just by changing the parameters of the experimental game. In particular,...

Disguising Lies - Image Concerns and Partial Lying in Cheating Games

Khalmetski, Kiryl - 2019

We study equilibrium reporting behavior in Fischbacher and Föllmi-Heusi (2013)-type cheating games when agents have a fixed cost of lying and image concerns not to be perceived as a liar. We show that equilibria naturally arise in which agents with low costs of lying randomize among a set of...
