Who Wants Violence? The Political Economy of Conflict and State Building in Colombia

Fergusson, Leopoldo - 2017

Enduring violent conflict is the flip side of the coin of a weak state. In this article, I propose some political economy underpinnings for the persistence of conflict (and the weak state). Focusing on the case of Colombia, I discuss three broad sets of mechanisms that are also relevant...

Asymmetric Volunteer's Dilemma Game : Theory and Experiment

Kawagoe, Toshiji - 2019

This study explores asymmetric volunteers' dilemma (VOD) games where costs for volunteering is different among players. Diekmann (1993) conjectures that an equilibrium, in which a player with less costs contributes, is more likely to be played if it is risk dominant. We re-examined this...

Organising co-existence in cyberspace : content regulation and privacy compared

Engel, Christoph - 2002

The Internet globalizes the world. National regulatory autonomy shrinks. Transferring data from one country to another is almost costless. Foreign content is just a click away. Why is it that states have been able to re-install co-existence in some policy areas, and not in others? In data...

Quantal Response Equilibria in a Generalized Volunteer's Dilemma and Step-Level Public Goods Games with Binary Decision

Kawagoe, Toshiji - 2015

The present paper fully characterizes equilibria of a generalized Volunteer's Dilemma game, which is an integration of the volunteer's dilemma game and the step-level public goods game with binary decision. We also examined the explanatory power of a widely accepted model with bounded...

Panic in the Lab : The Effect of Extreme External Risks and Bolstering Cooperation in Public Goods Games

Schweitzer, Sascha; Shen, Peiyao; Siebert, Johannes Ulrich - 2023

Cooperation in providing common goods is crucial for flourishing social systems, yet rare but extreme events, such as pandemics, stock market collapses, and terror attacks, pose a risk that could undermine cooperation. We extend the public goods game (PGG) to investigate the relationship between...

The value of national defense : assessing public preferences for defense policy options

Qari, Salmai; Börger, Tobias; Lohse, Tim; Meyerhoff, … - 2023

Defense spending accounts for a large share of the budget in many countries, but the value of the resulting public good … - national defense - has so far escaped assessment. Much of the literature has instead considered indirect benefits of defense … of defense policy, namely an increase in the security of citizens, by means of a survey-based discrete choice experiment …

The minimum approval mechanism implements the efficient public good allocation theoretically and experimentally

Masuda, Takehito; Okano, Yoshitaka; Saijo, Tatsuyoshi - 2013

We propose the minimum approval mechanism (MAM) for a standard linear public good environment with two players. Players simultaneously and privately choose their contributions to the public good in the first stage. In the second stage, they simultaneously decide whether to approve the other's...
