Schummer, James - 1999

Though some economic environments provide allocation rules that are implementable in dominant strategies (strategy-proof), a significant number of environments yield impossibility results. On the other hand, while there are quite general possibility results regarding implementation in Nash or...

Liberal egalitarianism and the harm principle

Lombardi, Michele; Veneziani, Roberto - 2009

This paper analyses Rawls's celebrated difference principle, and its lexicographic extension, in societies with a finite and an infinite number of agents. A unified framework of analysis is set up, which allows one to characterise Rawlsian egalitarian principles by means of a weaker version of a...

On the leximin and utilitarian overtaking criteria with extended anonymity

Kamaga, Kohei; Kojima, Takashi - Center for Intergenerational Studies, Institute of … - 2008

This paper studies the extensions of the infinte-horizon variants of the leximin principle and utilitarianism on the …-continuity (or Consistency) and the extended anonymity axiom called Q-Anonymity. We formulate new extended leximin and utilitarian … social welfare relations (SWRs), called Q-W-leximin SWR and Q-overtaking criterion respectively, and show that Weak …

(Over-)Stylizing experimental findings and theorizing with sweeping generality

Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut; Levati, Vittoria M: - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2008

Human decision making is a process guided by different and partly competing mo-tivations that can each dominate behavior and lead to different effects depending on strength and circumstances. “Over-stylizing” neglects such competing concerns and context-dependence, although it facilitates...

Voting on a sharing norm in a dictator game

Vanberg, Christoph - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2007

I conduct an experiment to assess whether majority voting on a nonbindingsharing norm affects subsequent behavior in a dictator game. Ina baseline treatment, subjects play a one shot dictator game. In a votingtreatment, subjects are first placed behind a ‘veil of ignorance’ and vote onthe...

The Decision Maker Matters: Individual versus Group Behaviour in Experimental Beauty-Contest Games

Kocher, Martin G.; Sutter, Matthias - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2004

Economics has devoted little attention so far as to whether the type of decision maker matters for economic decisions. However, many important decisions like those on monetary policy or a company’s business strategy are made by (small) groups rather than an individual. We compare behaviour of...

Individual versus group behavior and the role of the decision making procedure in gift-exchange experiments

Kocher, Martin G.; Sutter, Matthias - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2002

We test for behavioral differences between groups and individuals in gift-exchange experiments. Related studies establish group behavior as typically closer to the game-theoretic equilibrium. We show that this result my depend crucially on the decision making procedure within groups. A novel...
