Imitators and Optimizers in Cournot Oligopoly
Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2010
We present a formal model of symmetric n-firm Cournot oligopoly with a heterogeneous population of optimizers and imitators. Imitators mimic the output decision of the most successful firms of the previous round a la Vega-Redondo (1997). Optimizers play a myopic best response to the opponents'...

Imitators and Optimizers in Cournot Oligopoly
Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2005
We analyze a symmetric n-firm Cournot oligopoly with a heterogeneous population of optimizers and imitators. Imitators mimic the output decision of the most successful firms of the previous round a l`a Vega-Redondo (1997). Optimizers play a myopic best response to the opponents' previous output....

Imitators and Optimizers in Cournot Oligopoly
Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2002
We present a formal model of symmetric n-firm Cournot oligopoly with a heterogeneous population of profit optimizers and imitators. Imitators mimic the output decision of the most successful firms of the previous round a la Vega-Redondo (1997). Optimizers play myopic best response to the...

Strategic Teaching and Learning in Games
Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2017
It is known that there are uncoupled learning heuristics leading to Nash equilibrium in all finite games. Why should … players use such learning heuristics and where could they come from? We show that there is no uncoupled learning heuristic …" or that could "learn itself". Rather, a player has an incentive to strategically teach such a learning opponent in order …

Unawareness, Beliefs and Games
Heifetz, Aviad; Meier, Martin; Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2007
We define a generalized state-space model with interactive unawareness and probabilistic beliefs. Such models are desirable for many potential applications of asymmetric unawareness. We develop Bayesian games with unawareness, define equilibrium, and prove existence. We show how equilibria are...

A Canonical Model for Interactive Unawareness
Heifetz, Aviad; Meier, Martin; Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2005
Heifetz, Meier and Schipper (2005) introduced a generalized state-space model that allows for non-trivial unawareness among several individuals and strong properties of knowledge. We show that this generalized state-space model arises naturally if states consist of maximally consistent sets of...

Interactive Unawareness
Heifetz, Aviad; Meier, Martin; Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2005
The standard state-spaces of asymmetric information preclude non-trivial forms of unawareness (Modica and Rustichini, 1994, Dekel, Lipman and Rustichini, 1998). We introduce a generalized state-space model that allows for non-trivial unawareness among several individuals, and which satisfies...

Political Awareness, Microtargeting of Voters, and Negative Electoral Campaigning
Schipper, Burkhard C.; Woo, Hee Yeul - 2017
We study the informational effectiveness of electoral campaigns. Voters may not think about all political issues and have incomplete information with regard to political positions of candidates. Nevertheless, we show that if candidates are allowed to microtarget voters with messages then...
