We incorporate information measures representing knowledge into an evolutionary model of coevolving firms and markets … industries. The required innovation is to use information measures to impose an order on the routines constituting a firm, and by …, the coherent mathematical framework provided by information and probability theory describes firm orderliness and …

Previous papers on time-inconsistent procrastination assume projects are completed once begun. We develop a model in which a person chooses whether and when to complete each stage of a long-term project. In addition to procrastination in starting a project, a naive person might undertake costly...

We investigate the role that self-control problems modeled as time-inconsistent, present-biased preferences and a person's awareness of those problems might play in leading people to develop and maintain harmful addictions. Present-biased preferences create a tendency to over-consume addictive...

It is traditional in experimental games to allow participants to choose only actions or possibly communicate intended … play. In sequential two-person games, we require first movers to express a preference between responder choices. We find …

But ultimatum games may lead us to misconstrue some general … bargaining structures can lead to inefficiency even under complete information. Moreover, inefficiency is partly caused by … hypotheses for simple non- ultimatum bargaining games. …

Recent models of procrastination due to self-control problems assume that a procrastinator considers just one option and is unaware of her self-control problems. We develop a model where a person chooses from a menu of options and is partially aware of her self-control problems. This menu model...

We propose a quantum-like description of markets and economics. The approach has roots in the recently developed quantum game theory. Quantum Zeno paradoxes and noncomutative quantum mecanics are also discussed.
