Distributional effects in household models: separate spheres and income pooling
Browning, Martin; Lechene, Valerie; Chiappori, Pierre-Andre - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2006
We derive distributional effects for a non-cooperative alternative to the unitary model of household behaviour. We consider the Nash equilibria of a voluntary contributions to public goods game. Our main result is that, in general, the two partners either choose to contribute to different public...

Inferring Repeated Game Strategies From Actions: Evidence From Trust Game Experiments
Engle-Warnick, Jim; Slonim, Robert L. - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2001
This paper is empirical study, using new experimental data, of repeated game strategies in trust games; its goal is to identify strategies that people use in repeated games. We develop a strategy inference method that maps observed actions to a set of best fitting unobserved repeated game...

The Prisoner`s Dilemma and City-Centre Traffic
Joshi, Vijay; Joshi, Mary Sissons - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2001
It is commonly asserted that such problems as inner-city traffic congestion and pollution can be understood as examples of the Prisoner`s Dilemma Game (PD), but there is a dearth of empirical research that tests this assertion. 587 car owners in Oxford City were presented with three pairs of...

A New Payment Rule for Core-Selecting Package Auctions
Klemperer, Paul; Erdil, Aytek - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2009
We propose a new, easy-to-implement, class of payment rules, "Reference Rules", to make core-selecting package auctions more robust.  Small, almost-riskless, profitable deviations from "truthful bidding" are often easy for bidders to find under currently-used payment rules.  Reference Rules...

Coalition Formation in General Apex Games
Karos, Dominik - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2013
We generalize the class of apex game by combining a winning coalition of symmetric minor players with a collection of … to these games and their subgames we generate players' preferences over coalitions which we use to define a coalition … game there are core stable coalitions in the resulting coalition formation game.  Besides several general results, we …

Evolutionary dynamics and equitable core selection in assignment games
Nax, Heinrich H.; Pradelski, Bary S.R. - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2012
We study evolutionary dynamics in assignment games where many agents interact anonymously at virtually no cost.  The process is decentralized, very little information is available and trade takes place at many different prices simultaneously.  We propose a completely uncoupled learning process...

Stable partitions for games with non-transferable utilities and externalities
Karos, Dominik - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2015
We provide a model of coalitional bargaining with claims in order to solve games with non-transferable utilities and externalities.  We show that, for each such game, payoff configurations exist which will not be renegoiated.  In the original game derived from these payoff configurations, we...
