Information design in coalition formation games

Vosooghi, Sareh - 2017

information to agents, who consider joining a coalition. The agents' actions can cause harm by contributing to a public bad. The … coalition size, as a function of beliefs of agents, is an endogenous variable, induced by the information sender. The optimal … information mechanism from the general set of public information mechanisms, in coalition formation games is derived. I also apply …

Information feedback and contest structure in rent-seeking games

Fallucchi, Francesco; Renner, Elke; Sefton, Martin - 2012

We investigate the role of information feedback in rent-seeking games with two different contest structures. In the stochastic contest a contestant wins the entire rent with probability equal to her share of rent-seeking expenditures; in the deterministic contest she receives a share of the rent...

That's the Ticket : Explicit Lottery Randomisation and Learning in Tullock Contests

Chowdhury, Subhasish M. - 2017

We experimentally contrast mathematical versus operational explanations of Tullock lottery contests. We contrast a protocol explaining the contest in terms of probability of winning, with an operational approach that carries out the random component of the contest as an explicit lottery each...

Status-Seeking in Hedonic Games with Heterogeneous Players

Lazarova, Emiliya A.; Dimitrov, Dinko - 2010

We study hedonic games with heterogeneous player types that reflect her nationality, ethnic background, or skill type. Agents' preferences are dictated by status-seeking where status can be either local or global. The two dimensions of status define the two components of a generalized constant...

Candidate Competition and Voter Learning in the 2000-2012 US Presidential Primaries

Deltas, George; Polborn, Mattias - 2018

When candidates in primary elections are ideologically differentiated (e.g., conservatives and moderates in the Republican party), then candidates with similar positions affect each others' vote shares more strongly than candidates with different ideological positions. We measure this effect in...

International environmental agreements with uncertainty, learning and risk aversion

Finus, Michael; Pintassilgo, Pedro; Ulph, Alistair - 2014

This paper analyses the formation of international environmental agreements (IEAs) under uncertainty, focusing on the role of learning and risk aversion. It bridges two strands of literature: one focused on the role learning for the success of IEA formation when countries are risk neutral and...

Learning in network games

Kovářík, Jaromír; Mengel, Friederike; Romero, J. Gabriel - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 9 (2018) 1, pp. 85-139

We report the findings of experiments designed to study how people learn in network games. Network games offer new opportunities to identify learning rules, since on networks (compared to, e.g., random matching) more rules differ in terms of their information requirements. Our experimental...
