We study compliance dynamics generated by a large set of behavioral rules describing social interaction in a population … cheating-auditing occurs: Intensive monitoring induces compliance, but with high compliance there is incentive for lax … monitoring; with less monitoring, compliance starts decreasing, and then there is an incentive to intensify monitoring. Thus, the …

Field evidence suggests that people belonging to the same group often behave similarly, i.e., behavior exhibits social interaction effects. We conduct a laboratory experiment that avoids the identification problem present in the field and allows us to study the behavioral logic of social...

Field evidence suggests that agents belonging to the same group tend to behave similarly, i.e., behavior exhibits social interaction effects. Testing for such effects raises severe identification problems. We conduct an experiment that avoids these problems. The main design feature is that each...

We analyze the behavior of game-show contestants who play a one-shot game called Friend or Foe. While it is a weakly dominant strategy not to cooperate, almost half the contestants on the show choose to play "friend." Remarkably, the behavior of contestants remains unchanged even when stakes are...

We model the spread of news as a social learning game on a network. Agents can either endorse or oppose a claim made in … neighbors' past actions. Given these inputs, agents follow strategies derived via multi-agent deep reinforcement learning and …
