Blume, Lawrence E. - EconWPA - 2003

Social interactions provide a set of incentives for regulating individual behavior. Chief among these is stigma, the status loss and discrimination that results from the display of stigmatized attributes or behaviors. The stigmatization of behavior is the enforcement mechanism behind social...

Mura, Pierfrancesco La - EconWPA - 2003

Correlated equilibria are sometimes more efficient than the Nash equilibria of a game without signals. We investigate whether the availability of quantum signals in the context of a classical strategic game may allow the players to achieve even better efficiency than in any correlated...

Learning Under Little Information: An Experiment on Mutual Fate Control

Mitropoulos, Atanasios - EconWPA - 2001

Reinforcement learning has proved quite successful in predicting subjects' adjustment behaviour in repeatedly played simple games. However, reinforcement learning does not predict convergence to the efficient cell in the minimal information game of mutual fate control, while earlier...

Breaking the Symmetry: Optimal Conventions in Repeated Symmetric Games

Bhaskar, V. - EconWPA - 1997

-of-the-sexes. In repeated interaction, asymmetric coordination is possible possible via symmetric repeated game strategies. This … asymmetric continuation paths. The multiplicity of possible conventions gives rise to a coordination problem at a higher level if … the game is one of pure coordination. However, if there is a slight conflict of interest between players, a unique optimal …

Privacy or Publicity - Who Drives the Wheel?

Bannier, Christina E. - EconWPA - 2003

Financial markets are to a very large extent influenced by the advent of information. Such disclosures, however, do not only contain information about fundamentals underlying the markets, but they also serve as a focal point for the beliefs of market participants. This dual role of information...

An Experiment on the Value of Structural Information in a 2x2 Repeated Game

Mitropoulos, Atanasios - EconWPA - 2002

In experimental studies pairs that repeatedly play the simple coordination game mutual fate control may regularly fail …

Asymmetric loss utility: an analysis of decision under risk

Strashny, Alex - EconWPA - 2004

This paper develops a utility model for evaluating lotteries. In estimating utility, risk averse people use an asymmetric loss function. Expected utility is seen as a special case that is a good approximation in some cases. The model resolves several paradoxes and makes easily falsifiable...
