On the (Non)-Lattice Structure of Equilibrium Sets in Games with Strategic Substitutes
Roy, Sunanda - 2020
This paper studies models where the optimal response functions under consideration are non-increasing in endogenous variables, and weakly increasing in exogenous parameters. Such models include games with strategic substitutes, and include cases where additionally, some variables may be...

Minimax on the gridiron: Serial correlation and its effects on outcomes in the National Football League
Emara, Noha; Owens, David; Smith, John; Wilmer, Lisa - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014
We examine whether the predictions of minimax in zero-sum games holds under highly incentivized conditions with highly informed informed decision makers. We examine data from 3455 National Football League (NFL) games from the 2000 season through the 2012 season. We categorize every relevant play...

Wise exploitation – a game with a higher productivity than cooperation – transforms biological productivity into economic productivity.
Friedrich, T. - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009
I suggest a new game called wise exploitation. It is characterized by a small investment of the exploiting party to either breed the exploited party or educate the exploited party not to detect exploitation. Thereby a higher productivity than cooperation or prisoners´ dilemma is achieved. The...

Beliefs and (In)Stability in Normal-Form Games
Hyndman, Kyle; Terracol, Antoine; Vaksmann, Jonathan - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
In this paper, we use experimental data to study players' stability in normal-form games where subjects have to report … without feedback. We document a high degree of stability within the same (strategically equivalent) game, although time and … changes in the presentation of the game do lead to less stability. To look at stability across different games, we adopt the …

On prospects and games: an equilibrium analysis under prospect theory
Rindone, Fabio; Greco, Salvatore; Di Gaetano, Luigi - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
The aim of this paper is to introduce prospect theory in a game theoretic framework. We address the complexity of the weighting function by restricting the object of our analysis to a 2-player 2-strategy game, in order to derive some core results. We find that dominant and indifferent strategies...

Elementary game theory
Soni, Himanshu; Sharma, Damini - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2015
The theory of games (or game theory) is a mathematical theory that deals with the general features of competitive situations. It involves strategic thinking, and studies the way people interact while making economic policies, contesting elections and other such decisions. There are various types...

Social choice and game theory: recent results with a topological approach
Chichilnisky, Graciela - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 1983
This chapter presents a summary of recent results obtained in game and social choice theories, and highlights the application and the development of tools in algebraic topology. The purpose is expository: no attempt is made to provide complete proofs, for which references are given, nor to...

The problem of arising the Pareto inefficient norm in relations “investor – government” type.
Sokolovskyi, Dmytro; Sokolovska, Olena - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
The article deals with problem of forming of Pareto non-optimal norms of mutual behavior of investors and government in the process of decision-making related to financing of reduction of risks of investment activity in economy. The game-theoretical analysis suggests that inefficiency of arising...

The classical notion of competition revisited
Salvadori, Neri; Signorino, Rodolfo - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
We compare and analyse two different conceptions of market competition: the walrasian notion of perfect competition and the Classical notion of free competition: while the former may be described as an equilibrium state in which atomistic agents treat prices parametrically, the latter is a...

The classical notion of competition revisited
Salvadori, Neri; Signorino, Rodolfo - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
The paper seeks to fill a lacuna within Classical economics concerning the process of market price determination in a short-period equilibrium. To this aim, first we distinguish the Classical notion of free competition from the Walrasian notion of perfect competition and we argue that the latter...
