Licensing resource exploitation with endogenous and privately known reserves

Jääskeläinen, Jarmo; Lappi, Pauli - 2026

Monetary policy committees, independence, and influence

Colla de Robertis, Esteban - 2026

We develop a model of monetary policy committee decision-making, building on the framework of games played through agents (GPTA). Interest groups seek to influence policy by offering action-contingent contracts to committee members. The resulting equilibrium admits a simple characterization and...

Strategy-proof mechanism design with boundedly rational agents : theory and experiment

Nishizaki, Katsuhiko - 2026

In a strategy-proof mechanism, implementation theory mostly assumes that each agent is rational in the sense that the agent reveals its true preference to induce its most preferred outcome. This assumption is sufficient to guarantee that the agent seeks such an outcome, but not necessary because...

How absolute and relative payoffs shape dishonesty

Necker, Sarah; Le Maux, Benoît - 2026

We examine how absolute and relative gains within reward schemes influence dishonesty. In our online experiment, we vary two payoff dimensions in a cheating mind game: the payoff level and the absolute payoff difference between being successful or not. A higher payoff level has a negative impact...

Delegated social responsibility : Is managerial prosociality a source of agency cost?

Szymczak, Wiebke - 2026

Agency theory holds that managerial discretion over stakeholder decisions creates agency costs through altruistic redistribution. We test this claim in a principal-agent experiment where agents choose effort and transfers affecting a third party under unenforceable flat-wage contracts. We find...
