Predicting one Shot Play in 2x2 Games Using Beliefs Based on Minimax Regret
Gallice, Andrea - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
We present a simple procedure that selects the strategies most likely to be played by inexperienced agents who interact in one shot 2x2 matching pennies games. As a first step we axiomatically describe players’ beliefs. We find the minimax regret criterion to be the simplest functional form...

Incorporating Fairness Motives into the Impulse Balance Equilibrium and Quantal Response Equilibrium Concepts: An Application to 2x2 Games
Tavoni, Alessandro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
Substantial evidence has accumulated in recent empirical works on the limited ability of the Nash equilibrium to rationalize observed behavior in many classes of games played by experimental subjects. This realization has led to several attempts aimed at finding tractable equilibrium concepts...

Extrapolation in Games of Coordination and Dominance Solvable Games
Mengel, Friederike; Sciubba, Emanuela - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
We study extrapolation between games in a laboratory experiment. Participants in our experiment first play either the … dominance solvable guessing game or a Coordination version of the guessing game for five rounds. Afterwards they play a 3x3 … dominated strategies (IEDS), a pure Coordination game or a Coordination game with pareto ranked equilibria. We find strong …

(Anti-) Coordination in Networks
Kovarik, Jaromir; Mengel, Friederike; Romero, José Gabriel - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
We study (anti-) coordination problems in networks in a laboratory experiment. Partici- pants interact with their … neighbours in a fixed network to play a bilateral (anti-) coordination game. Our main treatment variable is the extent to which … of successful coordination. In addition, even though there is a multiplicity of Nash equilibria theoretically, a very …

The Allure of Technology: How France and California Promoted Electric Vehicles to Reduce Urban Air Pollution
Calef, David; Goble, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
All advanced industrialized societies face the problem of air pollution produced by motor vehicles. In spite of striking improvements in internal combustion engine technology, air pollution in most urban areas is still measured at levels determined to be harmful to human health. Throughout the...

Environmental Externalities of Geological Carbon Sequestration Effects on Energy Scenarios
Zwaan, Bob van der; Smekens, Koen - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
Geological carbon sequestration seems one of the promising options to address, in the near term, the global problem of climate change, since carbon sequestration technologies are in principle available today and their costs are expected to be affordable. Whereas extensive technological and...
