We investigate how the transparency of selecting an agent affects the agent’s reciprocal behavior. In a modified gift-exchange game, agents either receive information about having (not) been selected or receive no such information at all, which allows to analyze reciprocity of agents who were...

We investigate how the transparency of selecting an agent for a task affects the agent's reciprocal behavior. In a laboratory experiment, we conduct a gift-exchange game with a random move representing the chance that a selected agent may not be available. We vary the transparency of the...

The book investigates bargaining between two agents. It presents the history of bargaining analysis from Francis Y. Edgeworth's first formal study, followed by cooperative and noncooperative game-theoretic models, to recent stochastic evolutionary investigations. Connections between the results...

When delegations to an assembly or council represent differently sized constituencies, they are often allocated voting weights which increase in population numbers (EU Council, US Electoral College, etc.). The Penrose square root rule (PSRR) is the main benchmark for fair representation of all...
