Let the Dummy Talk!- Unilateral Communication and Discrimination inThree-Person Dictator Experiments -

Greiner, Ben; Güth, Werner; Zultan, Ro’i - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> - Abteilung … - 2005

To explain why pre-play communication increases cooperation in games,one refers to a) strategic causes such as efficient communication or reputationeffects, and b) changes in the utilities due to social processes. Hithertoexperimental support for both explanations is mixed and confounded....

The dynamic interplay of inequality and trust: an experimental study

Greiner, Ben; Ockenfels, Axel; Werner, Peter - 2007

We study the interplay of inequality and trust in a dynamic game, in which trust increases efficiency and thus allows … higher growth of the experimental economy in the future. We find that trust is initially high in a treatment starting with … equal endowments, but decreases over time. In a treatment with unequal endowments, trust is initially lower yet remains …

New Experimental Results on the Solidarity Game

Büchner, Susanne; Coricelli, Giorgio; Greiner, Ben - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2003

This paper revisits and extends the experiment on the solidarity gameby Selten and Ockenfels (1998). We replicate the basic design of the solidaritygame and extend it in order to test the robustness of the fixed totalsacrifice' effect and the applied strategy method. Our results only...

New Experimental Results on the Solidarity Game

Büchner, Susanne; Coricelli, Giorgio; Greiner, Ben - 2004

This paper revisits and extends the experiment on the solidarity game by Selten and Ockenfels (1998). We replicate the basic design of the solidarity game and extend it in order to test the robustness of the "fixed total sacrifice" effect and the applied strategy method. Our results only...

Universally Stable Adjustment Processes : A Unifying Approach

Herings, P. Jean-Jacques - 2000

Both in game theory and in general equilibrium theory there exists a number of universally stable adjustment processes. In game theory these processes typically serve the role of selecting a Nash equilibrium. Examples are the tracing procedure of Harsanyi and Selten or the equilibrium selection...

Coordinating Thoughts on Coordination Failures

Herings, P. Jean-Jacques - 2002

Coordination failures constitute an alternative explanation for underemployment that complements the Keynesian and neo-classical views. The paper proposes to distinguish three classes of models with coordination failures. The classes are formed by strategic models with or without a coordinating...

Best Response Cycles in Perfect Information Games

Herings, P. Jean-Jacques - 2015

We consider n–player perfect information games with payoff functions having a finite image. We do not make any further assumptions, so in particular we refrain from making assumptions on the cardinality or the topology of the set of actions and assumptions like continuity or measurability of...

Homotopy Methods to Compute Equilibria in Game Theory

Herings, P. Jean-Jacques - 2011

This paper presents a complete survey of the use of homotopy methods in game theory. Homotopies allow for a robust computation of game-theoretic equilibria and their refinements. Homotopies are also suitable to compute equilibria that are selected by various selection theories. We present all...
