Trust and reciprocity in the investment game with indirect reward

Güth, Werner; Königstein, Manfred; Marchand, Nadège; … - 2000

Experimental studies have shown that trust and reciprocity are effective in increasing efficiency when complete contracting is infeasible. One example is the study by Berg et al. (1995) of the investment game. In this game the person who receives the investment is the one who may reward the...

Stationary equilibria in discounted stochastic games with weakly interacting players

Horst, Ulrich - 2002

We give sufficient conditions for a non-zero sum discounted stochastic game with compact and convex action spaces and with norm-continuous transition probabilities, but with possibly unbounded state space to have a N ash equilibrium in homogeneous Markov strategies that depends in a Lipsehitz...

The stochastic equation P(t+1)=A(t)P(t)+B(t) with non-stationary coefficients

Horst, Ulrich - 2000

In this paper we consider the stochastic sequence {Pt}E N defined recursively by the linear relation Pt+1 = At Pt + Bt in a random environment which is described by the non-stationary process V = {(At, Bt) t E N.. We formulate sufficient conditions on v which ensure that the finite-dimensional...

Ergodic fluctuations in a stock market model with interacting agents : the mean field case

Horst, Ulrich - 1999

We consider a financial market model with interacting agents and study the long run behaviour of both aggregate behaviour and equilibrium prices. Investors are heterogeneous in their price expectations and they get stochastic signals about the "mood" of the market described by the empirical...

Why firms should care for customers

Königstein, Manfred; Müller, Wieland - 2000

Adopting the indirect evolutionary approach, we show that it might be beneficial for firms on a heterogeneous market not only to care for their profits but also for their respective customers' welfare. -- evolutionary stability ; customer orientation ; heterogenous market ; duopoly
