Cheap talk with transparent and monotone motives from a seller to an informed buyer
Jung, Jeahan; Kim, Jeong-yoo - In: Games 15 (2024) 23, pp. 1-20
We develop a model of cheap talk with transparent and monotone motives from a seller to an informed buyer. By transparent and monotone motives, we mean that the seller's preference does not depend on the state of the world and is increasing in the choice(s) of the buyer regardless of the state...

We experimentally investigated the effects of the possibility of taking in the dictator game and the choices of passive players between the dictator game and the taking game on the distribution decisions of active players. Our main findings support our hypothesis: when the dictator game is not...

Bayindir, Esra E.; Gurdal, Mehmet Y.; Ozdogan, Ayca; … - In: Games 11 (2020) 2/18, pp. 1-22
This paper deals with the effects of different modes of communication in a costless information transmission … having two senders and one receiver. The communication of senders is simultaneous in the first, sequential in the second and … one sender becomes insignificant in our two-sender model regardless of the mode of communication. However, as to the …

Voluntary leadership and asymmetric endowments in the investment game
Kleine, Fabian; Königstein, Manfred; Rozsnyói, Balázs - In: Games 9 (2018) 3/51, pp. 1-21
We experimentally investigate variants of the investment game by Berg, Dickhaut, and McCabe (1995), in which one of the two players decides who are first mover and second mover. It has been shown by Kleine, Königstein, and Rozsnyói (2014) that voluntary leadership increases both investment and...

Against all odds : tentative steps toward efficient information sharing in groups
Schlangenotto, Darius; Schnedler, Wendelin; Vadovič, … - In: Games 11 (2020) 3/31, 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...

Information disclosure through technology licensing
Mukherjee, Arijit; Bagchi, Aniruddha - In: Games 11 (2020) 3/37, pp. 1-8
We show that even if information transmission through an honest outside agency is not possible due to the possibility of collusion between the firms and the outside agency, information transmission is still possible through technology licensing. However, unlike the case of a cost-free honest...

Information sharing in oligopoly : sharing groups and core-periphery architectures
Currarini, Sergio; Feri, Francesco - In: Games 12 (2021) 4, pp. 1-17
The trade-off between the costs and benefits of disclosing a firm's private information has been the object of a vast literature. The absence of incentives to share information on a common market demand prior to competition has been advocated to interpret information sharing as evidence of...

Speech is silver, silence is golden
Andersson, Ola; Holm, Hakan J. - In: Games 4 (2013) 3, pp. 497-507
This paper experimentally investigates free-riding behavior on communication cost in a coordination game and finds … strong indications of such free-riding. Firstly, the subjects wait for others to send a message when communication is costly …, which does not happen when communication is costless. Secondly, the proportion of games where no communication or one …
