Consequential ethical dilemmas : the Payoff-Trolley game

Dickinson, David L. - 2026

This paper introduces a novel Payoff-Trolley dilemma task, where other participants' payoffs were at stake on the main or sidetrack in a trolley dilemma. Different scenarios varied the number of "others' payoffs" on the sidetrack and main track in ways that helped identify more clearly immoral...

How well do economic games model collective climate action? : a scoping review

Martin, Lucie; Timmons, Shane; Martin, Lucie - 2026

This study critically and constructively assesses how 'economic games' contribute to climate policy research via a pre-registered systematic scoping review of 165 sources. Researchers use economic games as empirical tools to measure cooperation while experimentally controlling the presence,...

Elections and political polarisation : challenges for environmental agreements

Spycher, Sarah - 2026 - This version: May 2026

This paper examines how domestic elections and political polarisation shape international environmental agreements. Using a four-stage game to model a bilateral treaty, I analyse how incumbents strategically balance policy preferences with re-election prospects. Results reveal asymmetric...

Many-to-many stable matching in large economies

Greinecker, Michael; Vocke, Karolina - 2026

We study stability notions for networked many-to-many matching markets with individually insignificant agents in distributional form. Outcomes are formulated as joint distributions over characteristics of agents and contract choices. Characteristics can lie in an arbitrary Polish space. We...

Who vaccinates when others matter? : social-circle mediated altruism in a heterogeneous vaccination game

Amann, Erwin; Alyousuf, Manar - 2026

We develop a population game with heterogeneous infection-loss types and social-circle mediated prosociality, where altruists internalize expected infection losses within a setting-specific circle. Equilibrium admits closed-form cutoff rules and an aggregate non-vaccination rate that reduces to...

Consumer innovation resistance and green technological innovation behavior : an evolutionary game approach

Li, Xingwei; Zhou, Guichuan; Yi, Beiyu - 2026

Green technology innovation (GTI) is crucial for enhancing the resource utilization of construction and demolition waste (CDW). However, consumer resistance to products made from recycled CDW significantly constrains their advancement. Existing studies largely emphasize government policies and...

R&D strategies of polluting firms facing an emissions tax : cost reduction versus pollution abatement

Haruna, Shoji; Goel, Rajeev K.; Yoshioka, Kenta - 2026

Firms' efforts to reduce pollution emissions in their production processes are induced by market forces as well as governmental regulatory instruments. The market forces, which might induce firms to increase production to maximize profits, work at cross-purposes. One of the common solutions is...

Wage dispersion, on-the-job search, and stochastic match productivity : a mean field game approach

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

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...
