The role of cultural capital on the voluntary contributions to cultural goods : a differential game approach

Finocchiaro Castro, Massimo; Mazza, Isidoro; Romeo, Domenica - In: Games 12 (2021) 1/27, pp. 1-11

This study aims to offer a formal analysis which relates provision of cultural goods to the society's level of cultural capital. Such a level is assumed to already exist in society and is increasable thanks to individual support for the offer of cultural goods. The achievement of the highest...

Explaining cooperative behavior in public goods games : how preferences and beliefs affect contribution levels

Ackermann, Kurt A.; Murphy, Ryan O. - In: Games 10 (2019) 1/15, pp. 1-34

There is a large body of evidence showing that a substantial proportion of people cooperate in public goods games, even if the situation is one-shot and completely anonymous. In the present study, we bring together two major endogenous factors that are known to affect cooperation levels, and in...

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...

Imitation of peers in children and adults

Apesteguia, Jose; Huck, Steffen; Oechssler, Joerg; … - In: Games 9 (2018) 1/11, pp. 1-15

is prevalent in the behavior of children aged between 8 and 10. Surprisingly, we find that imitation seems to be … cognitively demanding. Most children in this age group ignore information about others, foregoing substantial learning …-based imitation of peers may be harder for children to perform than non-success-based imitation of adults. …

(Un)bounded rationality in decision making and game theory : back to square one?

Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut - In: Games 1 (2010) 1, pp. 53-65

Game and decision theory start from rather strong premises. Preferences, represented by utilities, beliefs represented by probabilities, common knowledge and symmetric rationality as background assumptions are treated as “given.” A richer language enabling us to capture the process leading...

A modal logic of epistemic games

Lorini, Emiliano; Schwarzentruber, François - In: Games 1 (2010) 4, pp. 478-526

We propose some variants of a multi-modal of joint action, preference and knowledge that support reasoning about epistemic games in strategic form. The first part of the paper deals with games with complete information. We first provide syntactic proofs of some well-known theorems in the area of...

Computer solution to the game of pure strategy

Rhoads, Glenn C.; Bartholdi, Laurent - In: Games 3 (2012) 3, pp. 150-156

We numerically solve the classical "Game of Pure Strategy" using linear programming. We notice an intricate even-odd behaviour in the results of our computations that seems to encourage odd or maximal bids.

The dynamics of costly signaling

Wagner, Elliott O. - In: Games 4 (2013) 2, pp. 163-181

Costly signaling is a mechanism through which the honesty of signals can be secured in equilibrium, even in interactions where communicators have conflicting interests. This paper explores the dynamics of one such signaling game: Spence’s model of education. It is found that separating...

External pressure on alliances : what does the prisoners’ dilemma reveal?

Binner, Jane M.; Fletcher, Leslie R.; Kolokoltsov, Vassili - In: Games 4 (2013) 4, pp. 754-775

Prompted by a real-life observation in the UK retail market, a two-player Prisoners’ Dilemma model of an alliance between two firms is adapted to include the response of a rival firm, resulting in a version of a three-player Prisoners’ Dilemma. We use this to analyse the impact on the...

Schelling, von Neumann, and the event that didn’t occur

Field, Alexander James - In: Games 5 (2014) 1, pp. 53-89

Thomas Schelling was recognized by the Nobel Prize committee as a pioneer in the application of game theory and rational choice analysis to problems of politics and international relations. However, although he makes frequent references in his writings to this approach, his main explorations and...
