The Nash equilibrium solution concept for games is based on the assumption of expected utility maximization. Reference … two types of loss-aversion equilibrium, a solution concept endogenizing reference points. The two types reflect different … types of updating of reference points during the game. In equilibrium, reference points emerge as expressions of …

the limitations of applying commonly used open loop Nash equilibrium in characterizing equilibrium transfers from parents … behavior within a sequential multi-stage game and use the notion of subgame perfect equilibrium to study the consequences of … optimality of equilibrium allocation. We then examine the role of social security to correct such strategic distortions. …

We study the optimal design of the rules of trade in a two-period market given that agents arrive at different times and may only trade with agents present contemporaneously. First period agents face a fixed cost of trading across periods, and their decisions of whether or not to trade in the...

For groups that must make several decisions of similar form, we define a simple and general mechanism that is designed to promote social efficiency. The mechanism links the various decisions by forcing agents to budget their representations of preferences so that the frequency of preferences...

Auctions used to sell houses often attract a diverse group of bidders, with realtors and speculators out for a bargain competing against buyers with a real interest in the house. Value asymmetries such as these necessitate careful consideration of the auction format as revenue equivalence cannot...

This paper shows that altruism may be beneficial in bargaining when there is competition for bargaining partners. In a game with random proposers, the most altruistic player has the highest material payoff if players are sufficiently patient. However, this advantage is eroded as the discount...
