Efficient Incentives in Social Networks: Gamification and the Coase Theorem

Daske, Thomas - 2020

This study explores mechanism design for networks of interpersonal relationships. Agents' social (more or less … is a constructive proof of the Coase theorem, in its typical mechanism-design interpretation, for networks of at least …-efficient. The endogenously derived solution concept is interpreted as gamification: Resolve the agents' allocation problem with an …

Social interactions in a pandemic

Alfaro, Laura; Faia, Ester; Lamersdorf, Nora; Saidi, Farzad - 2021

Externalities and social preferences, such as patience and altruism, play a key role in the endogenous choice of social interactions, which in turn affect the diffusion of a pandemic or patterns of social segregation. We build a dynamic model, augmented with an SIR block, in which agents...

What does “clean” really mean? The implicit framing of decontextualized experiments

Engel, Christoph; Rand, David G. - In: Economics Letters 122 (2014) 3, pp. 386-389

It is standard in experimental economics to use decontextualized designs where payoff structures are presented using neutral language. Here we show that cooperation in such a neutrally framed Prisoner’s Dilemma is equivalent to a PD framed as contributing to a cooperative endeavour....

Group selection : the quest for social preferences

Salomonsson, Marcus - 2009

This paper surveys the literature on group selection. I describe the early contributions and the group selection controversy. I also describe the main approaches to group selection in the recent literature; fixation, assortative group formation, and reproductive externalities. -- Altruism ; spite...

Externality assessments, welfare judgments, and mechanism design

Daske, Thomas - 2017

How agents assess the (in-)tangible externalities that others might impose on them can strongly influence strategic interaction. This study explores mechanism design for agents whose externality assessments and private payoffs, exclusive of externalities, are all subject to asymmetric...

Health externalities and policy: the role of social preferences

Alfaro, Laura; Faia, Ester; Lamersdorf, Nora; Saidi, Farzad - 2021

Social preferences facilitate the internalization of health externalities, for example by reducing mobility during a pandemic. We test this hypothesis using mobility data from 258 cities worldwide alongside experimentally validated measures of social preferences. Controlling for time-varying...

Understanding markets with socially responsible consumers

Kaufmann, Marc; Andre, Peter; Kőszegi, Botond - 2023

Many consumers care about climate change and other externalities associated with their purchases. We analyze the behavior and market effects of such "socially responsible consumers" in three parts. First, we develop a flexible theoretical framework to study competitive equilibria with rational...
