We examine the Nash equilibria of a game where two national governments set patent breadth strategically. Broader patents make R&D more attractive, but the effect on static efficiency is nonmonotonic. In a North.South model, where only the North can innovate, harmonization of patent breadth...

In a fixed interaction treatment, a vast majority of subjects quickly coordinates on the inefficient outcome. In a … treatment with neighborhood choice, the outcome is dramatically different: behavior quickly converges to the socially desirable …

We report experimental evidence on the voluntary provision of public goods under threshold uncertainty. By explicitly comparing two prominent technologies, summation and weakest link, we show that uncertainty is particularly detrimental to threshold attainment under weakest link, where low...

We propose and experimentally test a theory of strategic behavior in which players are cognitively imprecise and … perceive a fundamental parameter with noise. We focus on 2 x 2 coordination games, which generate multiple equilibria when … players use a simple cutoff strategy. The model further predicts that behavior is context-dependent: players implement the …
