We show that for many classes of symmetric two-player games, the simple decision rule 'imitate-if-better' can hardly be … game or a quasiconcave game. Our results apply to many interesting examples of symmetric games including 2 x 2 games …, Cournot duopoly, price competition, public goods games, common pool resource games, and minimum effort coordination games. …

Applying unawareness belief structures introduced in Heifetz, Meier, and Schipper (2012), we develop Bayesian games … higher awareness levels and restricted from higher to lower awareness levels. We apply Bayesian games with unawareness to … relationship between standard Bayesian games and Bayesian games with unawareness. …

Both games are versions of Rock-Paper-Scissors with the addition of a … fourth strategy, Dumb. Nash equilibrium places a weight of 1/2 on Dumb in both games, but the TASP places no weight on Dumb …

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of market-based approaches in the provision of public-sponsored training … programs. In particular, we study the link between training quality and labor earnings using a Peruvian program that targets … disadvantaged youths. Multiple proxies for training quality are identified from bidding processes in which public and private …
