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...

Two-Aggregate Games : Demonstration Using a Production-Appropriation Model

Cornes, Richard; Hartley, Roger; Tamura, Yuji - 2017

We expand the scope of the two-aggregate method by applying it to a situation where many heterogeneous players are free to contribute to both aggregates. Such situations naturally arise in various resource allocation problems. Hence our method is useful in many applications. A...

Balance of power and the propensity of conflict

Herbst, Luisa; Konrad, Kai A.; Morath, Florian - 2015

We study the role of an imbalance in fighting strengths when players bargain in the shadow of conflict. Our … experimental results suggest: In a simple bargaining game with an exogenous mediation proposal, the likelihood of conflict is … independent of the balance of power. If bargaining involves endogenous demand choices, however, the likelihood of conflict is …

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...

Adaptive Learning in Weighted Network Games

Bayer, Péter - 2017

This paper studies adaptive learning in the class of weighted network games. This class of games includes applications like research and development within interlinked firms, crime within social networks, the economics of pollution, and defense expenditures within allied nations. We show that...

Contest with Attack and Defence: Does Negative Campaigning Increase or Decrease Voters Turnout?

Soubeyran, Raphaël - 2005

We present a general model of two players contest with two types of efforts. Contrary to the classical models of contest, where each player chooses a unique effort, and where the outcome depends on the efforts of all the players, contestants are allowed to reduce the effort of the opponent....
