Social norms in networks
Ushchev, Philip; Zenou, Yves - 2019
Although the linear-in-means model is the workhorse model in empirical work on peer effects, its theoretical properties are understudied. In this study, we develop a social-norm model that provides a microfoundation of the linear-in-means model and investigate its properties. We show that...

An experimental study of voting with costly delay
Kwiek, Maksymilian; Marreiros, Helia; Vlassopoulos, Michael - 2015
A conclave is a voting mechanism in which a committee selects an alternative by voting until a sufficient supermajority is reached. We study experimentally welfare properties of simple three-voter conclaves with privately known preferences over two outcomes and waiting costs. The resulting game...

Learning about a class of belief-dependent preferences without information on beliefs
Bellemare, Charles; Sebald, Alexander - 2011
We show how to bound the effect of belief-dependent preferences on choices in sequential two-player games without information about the (higher-order) beliefs of players. The approach can be applied to a class of belief-dependent preferences which includes reciprocity (Dufwenberg and...

Gender differences in the development of other-regarding preferences
John, Katrin; Thomsen, Stephan L. - 2017
We use data from a gender-neutral dictator and public goods game setting to analyze differences in other-regarding preferences between boys and girls aged 10 to 17. The results indicate a higher mean of dictator giving, degree of egalitarian decisions and lower frequency of selfish decisions,...

Voting as a war of attrition
Kwiek, Maksymilian; Marreiros, Helia; Vlassopoulos, Michael - 2018
We study communication in committees selecting one of two alternatives when consensus is required and agents have private information about their preferences. Delaying the decision is costly, so a form of multiplayer war of attrition emerges. Waiting allows voters to express the intensity of...
