Playing a game or making a decision? : methodological issues in the measurement of distributional preferences
Greiff, Matthias; Ackermann, Kurt A.; Murphy, Ryan O. - In: Games 9 (2018) 4/80, pp. 1-25
In terms of role assignment and informational characteristics, different contexts have been used when measuring distributional preferences. This could be problematic as contextual variance may inadvertently muddle the measurement process. We use a within-subjects design and systemically vary...

The evolution of reputation-based cooperation in regular networks
Sasaki, Tatsuya; Yamamoto, Hitoshi; Okada, Isamu; … - In: Games 8 (2017) 1, pp. 1-16
Despite recent advances in reputation technologies, it is not clear how reputation systems can affect human cooperation in social networks. Although it is known that two of the major mechanisms in the evolution of cooperation are spatial selection and reputation-based reciprocity, theoretical...

Voting in three-alternative committees: An experiment
Goertz, Johanna M. M.; Chernomaz, Kirill - In: Games 10 (2019) 2, pp. 1-23
We design an experiment to test how voters vote in a small committee election with three alternatives. Voters have common preferences that depend on an unknown state of nature. Each voter receives an imprecise private signal prior to the election and then casts a vote. The alternative with the...

A condorcet jury theorem for large poisson elections with multiple alternatives
Goertz, Johanna M. M. - In: Games 11 (2020) 1, pp. 1-12
Herein, we prove a Condorcet jury theorem (CJT) for large elections with multiple alternatives. Voters have common … that the CJT holds for large elections with two alternatives, but there is also an example of a large election with three … number of alternatives. Under certain circumstances (informative types), it is unique in elections with two alternatives. The …

Against all odds: Tentative steps toward efficient information sharing in groups
Schlangenotto, Darius; Schnedler, Wendelin; Vadovič, … - In: Games 11 (2020) 3, pp. 1-24
When groups face difficult problems, the voices of experts may be lost in the noise of others' contributions. We present results from a "naturally noisy" setting, a large first-year undergraduate class, in which the expert's voice was "lost" to such a degree that bringing forward even more...

Assortative matching by lottery contests
Cohen, Chen; Rabi, Ishay; Sela, Aner - In: Games 13 (2022) 5, pp. 1-20
We study two-sided matching contests with two sets, A and B, each of which includes a finite number of heterogeneous agents with commonly known types. The agents in each set compete in a lottery (Tullock) contest, and then are assortatively matched, namely, the winner of set A is matched with...
