Learning to Play Approximate Nash Equilibria in Games with Many Players

Cartwright, Edward - 2004

equilibrium. Players are assumed to make strategy choices using a combination of imitation and innovation. We begin by looking at … an imitation dynamic and provide conditions under which play evolves to an imitation equilibrium; convergence is … conditional on the network of social interaction. We then illustrate, through example, how imitation and innovation can complement …

Warm-Glow Giving in Networks with Multiple Public Goods

Richefort, Lionel - 2017

This paper explores a voluntary contribution game in the presence of warm-glow effects. There are many public goods and each public good benefits a different group of players. The structure of the game induces a bipartite network structure, where players are listed on one side and the public...

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...

In Search of Stars: Network Formation among Heterogeneous Agents

Ule, Alja; Goeree, Jacob K.; Riedl, Arno - 2007

This paper reports results from a laboratory experiment on network formation among heterogeneous agents. The experimental design extends the Bala-Goyal (2000) model of network formation with decay and two-way flow of benefits by allowing for agents with lower linking costs or higher benefits to...

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 the one-way and the two-ways flow models, each for high and low link costs. The models show both multiple equilibria and coordination problems. We conduct experiments under...

Partnerships for affordable and equitable disaster insurance

Mysiak, Jaroslav; Pérez-Blanco, C. D. - 2015

Extreme events are becoming more frequent and intense, inflating the economic damages and social hardship set-off by natural catastrophes. Amidst budgetary cuts, there is a growing concern on societies' ability to design solvent disaster recovery strategies, while addressing equity and...

The effect of fair trade affiliation on child schooling: Evidence from a sample of Chilean honey producers

Becchetti, Leonardo; Castriota, Stefano; Michetti, Melania - 2012

We evaluate the impact of fair trade (FT) affiliation on child schooling within a sample of Chilean honey producers with a retrospective panel data approach. From a theoretical point of view we argue that FT should have a positive effect on child schooling since it generates a short run pure...

Social incentives matter: Evidence from an online real effort experiment

Tonin, Mirco; Vlassopoulos, Michael - 2013

Contributing to a social cause can be an important driver for workers in the public and non-profit sector as well as in firms that engage in Corporate Social Responsibility activities. This paper compares the effectiveness of social incentives - that take the form of a donation received by a...

The Transmission of Sustainable Harvesting Norms When Agents Are Conditionally Cooperative

Richter, Andries; Grasman, Johan - 2013

Experimental and observational studies have highlighted the importance of agents being conditionally cooperative when facing a social dilemma. We formalize this mechanism in a theoretical model that portrays a small community having joint access to a common pool resource. The diffusion of norms...
