The Fashion Game : Network Extension of Matching Pennies
Cao, Zhigang - 2014
It is impossible, in general, to extend an asymmetric two-player game to networks, because there must be two populations, the row one and the column one, but we do not know how to define inner-population interactions. This is not the case for Matching Pennies, as we can interpret the row player...

Investigating peer and sorting effects within an adaptive multiplex network model
Lipari, Francesca; Stella, Massimo; Antonioni, Alberto - In: Games 10 (2019) 2/16, pp. 1-12

Lying to appear honest
Barron, Kai - 2019
This paper studies individual truth-telling behavior in the presence of multiple lying opportunities with heterogeneous stake sizes. The results show that individuals lie downwards (i.e. forgo money due to their lie) in low-stakes situations in order to signal honesty, and thereby mitigate the...
