Recent advances in experimental studies of social dilemma games

Chaudhuri, Ananish - In: Games 7 (2016) 1, pp. 1-11

I provide a broad overview of the findings reported in the articles submitted for this special volume on experimental studies of social dilemma problems. I start by providing a synopsis of where current research stands on this topic. Then I go on to discuss the specific papers and how those...

Stable sampling equilibrium in common pool resource games

Cárdenas Campo, Juan Camilo; Mantilla, César; Sethi, Rajiv - In: Games 6 (2015) 3, pp. 299-317

This paper reconsiders evidence from experimental common pool resource games from the perspective of a model of payoff sampling. Despite being parameter-free, the model is able to replicate some striking features of the data, including single-peaked frequency distributions, the persistent use of...

Game theory of pollution : national policies and their international effects

Schüller, Katharina; Staňková, Kateřina; Thuijsman, … - In: Games 8 (2017) 3, pp. 1-15

In this paper we put forward a simple game-theoretical model of pollution control, where each country is in control of … its own pollution, while the environmental effects of policies do not stop at country borders. In our noncooperative … differential game, countries as players minimize the present value of their own costs defined as a linear combination of pollution …

Trust with private and common property : effects of stronger property right entitlements

Cox, James C.; Hall, Daniel T. - In: Games 1 (2010) 4, pp. 527-550

Is mutually beneficial cooperation in trust games more prevalent with private property or common property? Does the strength of property right entitlement affect the answer? Cox, Ostrom, Walker, et al. [1] report little difference between cooperation in private and common property trust games....

Economic harmony : an epistemic theory of economic interactions

Suleiman, Ramzi - In: Games 8 (2017) 1, pp. 1-15

We propose an epistemic theory of micro-economic interactions, termed Economic Harmony. In the theory, we modify the standard utility, by changing its argument from the player’s actual payoff, to the ratio between the player’s actual payoff and his or her aspired payoff. We show that the...

Groundwater usage and strategic complements, Part I, Instrumental variables

Koch, Caleb M.; Nax, Heinrich H. - In: Games 13 (2022) 5, pp. 1-19

We test whether the decisions in a common-pool resource game are better modeled game- theoretically as strategic substitutes or complements using an individual-level dataset of groundwater usage that accounts for 3% of US irrigated agriculture. Based on a regression framework with instrumental...

Characterizing actions in a dynamic common pool resource game

Somasse, Gbetonmasse B.; Smith, Alexander; Chapman, Zachary - In: Games 9 (2018) 4/101, pp. 1-13

We conducted a dynamic common pool resource experiment and found large differences among groups in the total benefits (surplus) obtained from the resource. To shed light on the factors underlying the differences, we characterized individual appropriation decisions as irresponsible, sustainable,...

Binding contracts, non-binding promises and social feedback in the intertemporal common-pool resource game

Przepiorka, Wojtek; Diekmann, Andreas - In: Games 11 (2020) 1/5, pp. 1-21

In the intertemporal common-pool resource game, non-cooperative behavior produces externalities reducing subjects' payoffs in both the present and the future. In this paper, we investigate through two experiments whether binding contracts, non-binding promises and social feedback help to promote...
