Luxembourg in the early days of the EEC: Null player or not?
Mayer, Alexander - In: Games 9 (2018) 2, pp. 1-12
Voters whose yes-or-no decision never makes a difference to the outcome in a simple voting game are known as 'null players'. Luxembourg's role in the Council of Ministers during the first period of the European Economic Community (EEC) is often cited as a real-world case. The paper contrasts the...

To tender or not to tender? Deliberate and exogenous sunk costs in a public good game
Heine, Florian; Sefton, Martin - In: Games 9 (2018) 3, pp. 1-28
In an experimental study, we compare individual willingness to cooperate in a public good game after an initial team contest phase. While players in the treatment setup make a conscious decision on how much to invest in the contest, this decision is exogenously imposed on players in the control...

Indirect evolution and aggregate-taking behavior in a football league: Utility maximization, profit maximization, and success
Prinz, Aloys L. - In: Games 10 (2019) 2, pp. 1-12
An evolutionary model of European football was applied to analyze a two-stage indirect evolution game in which teams choose their utility function in the first stage, and their optimal talent investments in the second stage. Given the second-stage optimal aggregate-taking strategy (ATS) of...

Sharing a river with downstream externalities
Steinmann, Sarina; Winkler, Ralph - In: Games 10 (2019) 2, pp. 1-15
We consider the problem of efficient emission abatement in a multi polluter setting, where agents are located along a river in which net emissions accumulate and induce negative externalities to downstream riparians. Assuming a cooperative transferable utility game, we seek welfare distributions...

Cartel formation in Cournot competition with asymmetric costs: A partition function approach
Abe, Takaaki - In: Games 12 (2021) 1, pp. 1-16
In this paper, we use a partition function form game to analyze cartel formation among firms in Cournot competition. We assume that a firm obtains a certain cost advantage that allows it to produce goods at a lower unit cost. We show that if the level of the cost advantage is "moderate", then...
