This paper examines game theoretic models of coordination conventions. Firstly, the paper shows that static models of … coordination cannot explain the emergence of coordination conventions. The best interpretation of these models is that they study … the conditions under which coordination is possible. The examination of these conditions suggests that history and …

We describe a candid model for learning, why and how learning transpires. We investigate the original as well as the … leading conditions of the learning process. We provide an insight into the realm of beliefs and their formation, their … the influence that learning in general has on human behavior. …

Exploration is a costly activity that helps a business improve their understanding of a potential mineral deposit. Yet, even with strong exploration results, the business faces uncertainty over the value of the mine. I model this situation as a game of chance. The game starts by giving an agent...

Here, we show that agents who are ex ante rational, if allowed to interact locally, may generate clustering of volatility. Hence, there is no need to reject the notion of rationality in agent based models.

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...

We address the challenge of designing performance-based incentive schemes for schoolteachers. When teachers specialize in different subjects in the presence of social prejudice, performance based pay which depends on the average of student performance can cause teachers to coordinate their...
