Luring others into climate action : coalition formation games with threshold and spillover effects

Bosetti, Valentina; Heugues, Melanie; Tavoni, Alessandro - 2015

We study the effect of leadership in an experimental threshold public "bad" game, where we manipulate both the relative returns of two investments (the more productive of which causes a negative externality) and the extent to which the gains from leadership diffuse to the group. The game...

Three layers of uncertainty : an experiment

Aydogan, Ilke; Berger, Loϊc; Bosetti, Valentina; Liu, Ning - 2018

We experimentally explore decision-making under uncertainty using a framework that decomposes uncertainty into three distinct layers: (1) physical uncertainty, entailing inherent randomness within a given probability model, (2) model uncertainty, entailing subjective uncertainty about the...
