Coordination in Networks Formation: Experimental Evidence on Learning and Salience

Galizzi, Matteo; Bernasconi, Michele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005

We present experiments on repeated non-cooperative network formation games, based on Bala and Goyal (2000). We treat … coordination problems. We conduct experiments under various conditions which control for salient labeling and learning dynamics …. Contrary to previous experiments, we find that coordination on non-empty Strict Nash equilibria is not an easy task for …

Status-Seeking in Hedonic Games with Heterogeneous Players

Lazarova, Emiliya; Dimitrov, Dinko - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

We study hedonic games with heterogeneous player types that reflect her nationality, ethnic background, or skill type. Agents' preferences are dictated by status-seeking where status can be either local or global. The two dimensions of status define the two components of a generalized constant...

Robust Multidimensional Welfare Comparisons: One Vector of Weights, One Vote

Athanassoglou, Stergios - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

Many aspects of social welfare are intrinsically multidimensional. Composite indices at-tempting to reduce this complexity to a unique measure abound in many areas of economics and public policy. Comparisons based on such measures depend, sometimes critically, on how the different dimensions of...

Paths to Stability in Two-sided Matching with Uncertainty

Lazarova, Emiliya; Dimitrov, Dinko - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

We consider one-to-one matching problems under two modalities of uncertainty that differ in the way types are assigned to agents. Individuals have preferences over the possible types of the agents from the opposite market side and initially know the “name” but not the ”type” of the other...

Bargaining and Power

Karos, Dominik - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

Given a simple game, a power configuration specifies the power of each player in each winning coalition. We introduce a new power configuration which takes into account bargaining among players in coalitions. We show that under very weak conditions on a bargaining solution there is a power...

Multiple Membership and Federal Sructures

Savvateev, Alexei; Breton, Michel Le; Makarov, Valery; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008

We consider a model of the “world" with several regions that may create a unified entity or be partitioned into several unions (countries). The regions have distinct preferences over policies chosen in the country to which they belong and equally share the cost of public policies. It is known...
