Second-Price Proxy Auctions in Bidder-Seller Networks
Ott, Marion - 2009
We analyze a model of Internet auctions. Sellers each offer one item of a heterogeneous good to bidders who have unit-demand preferences. Items are sold in second-price proxy auctions. We derive a perfect Bayesian (epsilon-) equilibrium. Our experimental findings support the theoretical results....

Essays on Individual Behavior in Social Dilemma Environments: An Experimental Analysis
Dudley, Dean - 1993
"In this study, individual level behavior is investigated in the context of computer assisted voluntary contribution mechanism public good (VCM) provision experiments and common pool resource (CPR) appropriation experiments. Previous studies of these environments have concentrated on aggregate...

Join the Leader, Imitate or Follow: Evolutionary Stable Strategies in the Commons
Schott, Stephan - 2010
"We develop an evolutionary game theory model for a limited access common pool resource. With full disclosure of individual extraction decisions and payoffs we conjecture that subjects will imitate the most successful players’ strategy as long as their payoffs increase. We derive a stable...
