Preference Reversals and the Analysis of Income Distributions

Amiel, Yoram - 2008

It is known from the literature on uncertainty that in cases where individuals express a preference for a high win-probability bet over a bet with high winnings they nevertheless will bid more to obtain the bet with high winnings. We investigate whether a similar phenomenon applies in the...

Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2011

We consider a two-person Cournot game of voluntary contributions to a public good with identical individual preferences, and examine equilibrium aggregate welfare under a separable, symmetric and concave social welfare function. Assuming the public good is pure, Itaya, de Meza and Myles (Econ....

Compensating justice beats leaky buckets : an experimental investigation

Camacho-Cuena, Eva (contributor); … - 2005

Leaky-bucket transactions can be regarded as income transfers allowing for transaction costs. In its most rudimentary form, leaky-bucket transactions trace out the maximum leakageʺ of transaction costs before income inequality is exacerbated, or before a welfare loss is experienced. This notion...

A general power index

Lojkine, Ulysse - 2022

I propose a general power index in games. The power of an agent over an outcome is understood as the equilibrium effect … on the outcome of variations in the agent’s preferences. I show that the new index, ∆, has the following properties: (i …) classic measures of freedom of choice are a special case of the ∆ index in the context of individual choice; (ii) the Banzhaf …

Does payoff equity facilitate coordination? : a test of Schelling's conjecture

López-Pérez, Raúl; Pintér, Ágnes; Kiss, Hubert J. - 2013

Starting from Schelling (1960), several game theorists have conjectured that payoff equity might facilitate coordination in normal-form games with multiple equilibria - the more equitable equilibrium might be selected either because fairness makes it focal or because many individuals dislike...
