The paper presents the concept of an imitation equilibrium and explores it in the context of some simple oligopoly models. The concept applies to normal form games enriched by a reference structure specifying a reference group for every player. The reference group is a set of other players, whom...

Recently there has been much theoretical and experimental work on learning in games. However, learning usually means … learning about the strategic behavior of opponents rather than learning about the game as such. In contrast, here we report on … an experiment designed to test whether players learn a) the relevant features of the payoff structure of a 2x2 game (e …

This paper reports the results of a laboratory experiment on network formation among heterogeneous agents. The experimental design extends the basic Bala-Goyal (2000) model of network formation with decay and two-way flow of benefits by allowing for agents with lower linking costs or higher...

By providing incentives for sellers to act in a trustworthy manner, reputation mechanisms in many online environments can mitigate moral-hazard problems when particular buyers and sellers interact infrequently. However, these mechanisms rely on buyers sharing their private information about...

A laboratory experiment studies coordination and cooperation in games played in different networks - local, random and small-world. Coordination on the payoff-dominant equilibrium was faster in small-world networks than in local and random networks. However, in a prisoner's dilemma game,...
