This paper presents a neural network model developed to simulate the endogenous emergence of bounded-rational behavior in normal-form games. There exists an algorithm which, if learnt by a neural network, would enable it to perfectly select Nash equilibria in never before seen games. However,...

In light of its importance of innovation on the political agenda it is necessary to provide guidance to decision makers how innovation can effectively be fostered in practice and to disentangle and evaluate the effects of the determinants suggested by the literature. This thesis focuses on the...

Une trentaine d’entreprises belges sont implantées à Dunkerque. Pour certaines,cette implantation est très ancienne et remonte aux années 1920, pour d’autres elle est beaucoup plus récente, années 1980-1990. Ces entreprises sont majoritairement implantées dans l’industrie lourde,...

Ce papier analyse les éléments déterminants des investissements directs étrangers dans trois pays du Sud et de l’Est de la méditerranée durant la période 1970-1996. Le cadre théorique du modèle élaboré s’inscrit dans celui de l’approche de l’adaptation institutionnelle...

Anticipated reward magnitude and probability comprise dual components of expected value (EV), a cornerstone of economic and psychological theory. However, the neural mechanisms that compute EV have not been characterized. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, we examined...

We had participants play two sets of repeated Prisoner's Dilemma (RPD) games, one with a large continuation probability and the other with a small continuation probability, as well as Dictator Games (DGs) before and after the RPDs. We find that, regardless of which is RPD set is played first,...
