In this paper, the authors characterize belief-free equilibria in infinitely repeated games with incomplete information with N \ge 2 players and arbitrary information structures. This characterization involves a new type of individual rational constraint linking the lowest equilibrium payoffs...

The so called classic model of tax compliance behaviour interprets the problem as an individual decision under risk made by a single taxpayer. After a concise description of this model our literature survey investigates whether the empirical results found in the literature corroborate the...

The aim of this study is to review what we know about depositors' behavior, using empirical observations and experimental data. I find that both fundamental problems and coordination failures between depositors explain depositors' behavior and therefore the emergence of bank runs. I show that...
