On Some Geometry and Equivalence Classes of Normal Form Games

Germano, Fabrizio - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2003

Equivalence classes of normal form games are defined using the discontinuities of correspondences of standard equilibrium concepts like correlated, Nash, and robust equilibrium, or risk dominance and rationalizability. Resulting equivalence classes are fully characterized and compared across...

Auction Mechanisms and Bidder Collusion: Bribes, Signals and Selection

Llorente-Saguer, Aniol; Ro'i Zultan - Max-Planck-Institut zur Erforschung von … - 2014

neglects the effects of failed collusion attempts. In such contingencies, information revealed in the negotiation process is … likely to affect the bidding behavior in firstprice (but not second-price) auctions. We test experimentally a setup in which … collusion is possible, but negotiations often break down and information is revealed in an asymmetric way. The existing …

Iriberri, Nagore; Rey-Biel, Pedro - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2009

We compare behavior in modified dictator games with and without role uncertainty. Subjects choose between a selfish action, a costly surplus creating action (altruistic behavior) and a costly surplus destroying action (spiteful behavior). While costly surplus creating actions are most frequent...

Equilibrium Play and Best Response to (Stated) Beliefs in Normal Form Games

Rey-Biel, Pedro - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2007

We report experimental results on a series of ten one-shot two-person 3x3 normal form games with unique equilibrium in pure strategies played by non-economists. In contrast to previous experiments in which game theory predictions fail dramatically, a majority of actions taken coincided with the...

Brañas-Garza, Pablo; Espinosa, Maréa Paz; Rey-Biel, Pedro - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2008

This paper uses subjects self-reported justifications to explain discrepancies between observed heterogeneous behavior and the unique equilibrium prediction in a one-shot travelers dilemma experiment (TD). Principal components (PC) analysis suggests that iterative reasoning, aspiration levels,...
