Dumbing down rational players : learning and teaching in an experimental game
Terracol, Antoine; Vaksmann, Jonathan - HAL - 2007
This paper uses experimental data to examine the existence of a teaching strategy among bounded rational players. If players realize that their own actions modify their opponent's beliefs and actions, they might play certain actions to this specific end ; and forego immediate payoffs if the...

The hero figure in Business and Cinema
Fournout, Olivier - HAL - 2012
Textbooks and manuals on management suggest that managers are heroes who deal with difficult problems of collective adaptation and change. American films are similarly built on the premise of a hero confronted with extremely difficult situations. What if this hero figure promoted for so long in...

On Doping and Recovery
Bervoets, Sebastian; Decreuse, Bruno; Faure, Mathieu - HAL - 2014
This paper provides a game-theoretical analysis of the use by athletes of performance-enhancing drugs. We focus on a two-player game where players are heterogeneous and performances are subject to uncertainty. While the standard setup assumes these drugs increase maximum performances, we assume...

Local interactions and p-best response set
Durieu, Jacques; Solal, Philippe - HAL - 2014
We study a local interaction model where agents play a finite n-person game following a perturbed best-response process with inertia. We consider the concept of minimal p-best response set to analyze distributions of actions in the long run. We distinguish between two assumptions made by agents...

Competition between wireless service providers sharing a radio resource
Maillé, Patrick; Tuffin, Bruno; Vigne, Jean-Marc - HAL - 2012
We present a model of competition on prices between two telecommunication service providers sharing an access resource, which can for example be the same WiFi spectrum. We obtain a two-level game corresponding to two time scales of decisions: at the smallest time scale, users play an association...

On the restricted cores and the bounded core of games on distributive lattices
Grabisch, Michel; Sudhölter, Peter - HAL - 2014
A game with precedence constraints is a TU game with restricted cooperation, where the set of feasible coalitions is a distributive lattice, hence generated by a partial order on the set of players. Its core may be unbounded, and the bounded core, which is the union of all bounded faces of the...
