Purpose - The current paper is a brief review of the emerging field of quantum-like modelling in game theory. This paper aims to explore several quantum games, which are superior compared to their classical counterparts, which means either they give rise to superior Nash equilibria or they make...

In the given research we study a leadership formation of the most influential nodes in networks. Specifically, we analyze the competition between a leader and a follower based on the Stackelberg leadership model. Applying the concept of Shapley value to measure node’s importance, we represent...

We propose a framework in order to econometrically estimate case-based learning and apply it to empirical data from twelve 2 × 2 mixed strategy equilibria experiments. Case-based learning allows agents to explicitly incorporate information available to the experimental subjects in a simple,...

Simple games are a powerful tool to analyze decision-making and coalition formation in social and political life. In this paper, we present relation-algebraic models of simple games and develop relational algorithms for solving some basic problems of them. In particular, we test certain...

This paper develops necessary and sufficient conditions for monotone comparative statics predictions in several classes of stochastic optimization problems. The results are formulated so as to highlight the tradeoffs between assumptions about payoff functions and assumptions about probability...

In the context of a continuum of random variables, arising, for example, as rates of return in financial markets with a continuum of assets, or as individual responses in games with a continuum of players, an important economic issue is to show how idiosyncratic risk can be removed through some...

Understanding whether preferences are sensitive to the frame has been a major topic of debate in the last decades. For example, several works have explored whether the dictator game in the give frame gives rise to a different rate of pro-sociality than the same game in the take frame, leading to...

Interbank borrowing and lending may induce systemic risk into financial markets. A simple model of this is to assume that log-monetary reserves are coupled, and that banks can also borrow/lend from/to a central bank. When all banks optimize their cost of borrowing and lending, this leads to a...

An information-theoretic thought experiment is developed to clarify why the maximum entropy methodology is appropriate for predicting the equilibrium state of economic systems. As a first step, object allocation problems, modeled as knapsack problems, are shown to be equivalent to congestion...

In this paper we assume that strategic payoffs are Normal distribution, and discuss how the parameters of Normal distributions affect the NE payoff distribution that is also concerned by players. We find that distortions of NE payoff distributions are dominated by the distance between variances...
