Coordination in Networks Formation: Experimental Evidence on Learning and Salience

Galizzi, Matteo; Bernasconi, Michele - 2005

We present experiments on repeated non-cooperative network formation games, based on Bala and Goyal (2000). We treat … coordination problems. We conduct experiments under various conditions which control for salient labeling and learning dynamics …. Contrary to previous experiments, we find that coordination on non-empty Strict Nash equilibria is not an easy task for …

Delegation and Public Pressure in a Threshold Public Goods Game: Theory and Experimental Evidence

Iris, Doruk; Lee, Jungmin; Tavoni, Alessandro - 2016

The provision of global public goods, such as climate change mitigation and managing fisheries to avoid overharvesting, requires the coordination of national contributions. The contributions are managed by elected governments who, in turn, are subject to public pressure on the matter. In an...

Identity, homophily and in-group bias

Currarini, Sergio; Menge, Friederike - 2012

Many Social Interactions display either or both of the following well documented phenomena. People tend to interact with similar others (homophily). And they tend to treat others more favorably if they are perceived to share the same identity (in-group bias). While both phenomena involve some...

Building Up Social Capital in a Changing World: A Network Approach

Vega-Redondo, Fernando - 2003

This paper models the dynamic process through which a large society may succeed in building up its "social capital" by establishing a stable and dense pattern of interaction among its members. In the model, agents interact according to a collection of infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemmas...

Cheap Talk with Correlated Signals

Chand, A. K. S.; Currarini, Sergio; Ursino, Giovanni - 2013

We consider a game of information transmission, with one informed decision maker gathering information from one or more informed senders. Private information is (conditionally) correlated across players, and communication is cheap talk. For the one sender case, we show that correlation...

Information Design In Coalition Formation Games

Vosooghi, Sareh - 2017

I examine a setting, where an information sender conducts research into a payoff-relevant state variable, and releases information to agents, who consider joining a coalition. The agents' actions can cause harm by contributing to a public bad. The sender, who has commitment power, by designing...

Bilingualism and communicative benefits

Gabszewicz, Jean; Ginsburgh, Victor; Weber, Shlomo - 2008

We examine patterns of acquiring non-native languages in a model with two languages and two populations with heterogeneous learning skills, where every individual faces a binary choice of learning the foreign language or refraining from doing so. We show that both interior and corner linguistic...

The grand experiment of communism: Discovering the trade-off between equality and efficiency

Farvaque, Etienne; Mihailov, Alexander; Naghavi, Alireza - 2011

This paper aims to explain the rise and fall of communism by exploring the interplay between economic incentives and social preferences in different economic systems. We introduce inequality-averse and inefficiency-averse agents responding to economic incentives and transmitting their ideology...
