Myopic or Farsighted? An Experiment on Network Formation

Mantovani, Marco; Kirchsteiger, Georg; Mauleon, Ana; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

agents are farsighted, related stability concepts have been proposed. We design a simple network formation experiment to test …

Kingmakers and Leaders in Coalition Formation

Kilgour, Marc; Brams, Steven J. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

Assume that players strictly rank each other as coalition partners. We propose a procedure whereby they “fall back” on … their preferences, yielding internally compatible, or coherent, majority coalition(s), which we call fallback coalitions. If … there is more than one fallback coalition, the players common to them, or kingmakers, determine which fallback coalition …

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 the one-way and the two-ways flow models, each for high and low link costs. The models show both multiple equilibria and coordination problems. We conduct experiments under...

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...
