More than words: Communication in intergroup conflicts
Leibbrandt, Andreas; Sääksvuori, Lauri - 2010
Numerous studies suggest that communication may be a universal means to mitigate collective action problems. In this study, we challenge this view and show that the communication structure crucially determines whether communication mitigates or intensifies the problem of collective action. We...

An experimental investigation of colonel blotto games
Chowdhury, Subhasish M.; Kovenock, Daniel J.; … - 2009
This article examines behavior in the two-player, constant-sum Colonel Blotto game with asymmetric resources in which players maximize the expected number of battlefields won. The experimental results support all major theoretical predictions. In the auction treatment, where winning a...

Would you mind if I get more? : an experimental study of the envy game
Casal, Sandro; Güth, Werner; Jia, Mofei; Ploner, Matteo - 2011
Envy is often the cause of mutually harmful outcomes. We experimentally study the impact of envy in a bargaining setting in which there is no conflict in material interests: a proposer, holding the role of residual claimant, chooses the size of the pie to be shared with a responder, whose share...

Imitators and Optimizers in Cournot Oligopoly
Schipper, Burkhard - 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 à la Vega-Redondo (1997). Optimizers play a myopic best response to the opponents' previous output....

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'...
