Can communication mitigate strategic delays in investment timing?

Mermer, Ayse; Onderstal, Sander; Sonnemans, Joep - 2023

In economic environments, decision-makers can strategically delay irreversible investments to learn from the actions of others. This creates free-riding incentives and can lead to socially suboptimal outcomes. We experimentally examine if and how communication mitigates this free-riding problem...

Peaceful agreements to share a river

Brink, René van den; Nevrekar, Saish - 2020

This paper develops a model of conflict resolution over scarce water in a trans-boundary river. In our model, we … along the river, they sequentially bargain over the surplus of water, or decide to engage in a military conflict with their … upstream neighbour. The probability of winning a military conflict is determined by a contest success function which depends on …

Imitation and belief learning in an oligopoly experiment

We examine the force of three types of behavioral dynamics in quantity-setting triopoly experiments:mimicking the successful firm,following the exemplary firm, andbelief learning.Theoretically, these three rules of dynamic conduct lead to the competitive, the collusive, and the Cournot-Nash...
