Opinion Polarization in a Parliamentary Institution Generates Extreme Legislation
Gottesman, Avinat - 2021
How does opinion polarization over matters of moral conviction affect the legislative outcome of parliamentary institutions? Analysis reveals that in the relatively common case, in which a party's voting power is positively correlated with the public support of the convictions it represents, if...

Interdependent Preferences and Strategic Distinguishability
Bergemann, Dirk; Morris, Stephen; Takahashi, Satoru - Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University - 2010
A universal type space of interdependent expected utility preference types is constructed from higher-order preference hierarchies describing (i) an agent's (unconditional) preferences over a lottery space; (ii) the agent's preference over Anscombe-Aumann acts conditional on the unconditional...

Interdependent Preferences and Strategic Distinguishability
Bergemann, Dirk; Morris, Stephen; Takahashi, Satoru - Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University - 2010
We identify a universal type space of possible interdependent (expected utility) preferences of a group of agents satisfying two criteria. First, a type consists of a "detail free" description, in a natural language, of the agents' interdependent preferences. Second, distinct types in the...

N-poly viability and conglopolistic competition in small emerging market
Fabella, Raul V. - 2015
The economic catch-up of the East Asian region went hand-in-hand with the emergence and even dominance of large quasi-state or private conglomerates. Such for example were the Zaibatsus in the pre-WWII and the Keiretsus of the post-WWII Japan and the Chaebols of South Korea which enjoyed...

Network Formation with Heterogeneous Players
Galeotti, Andrea; Goyal, Sanjeev - 2002
This paper studies network formation in settings where players are heterogeneous with respect to benefits as well as the costs of forming links. Our results demonstrate that centrality, center-sponsorship and short network diameter are robust features of equilibrium networks. We find that in a...

Information, Coordination, and the Industrialization of Countries
Englmaier, Florian; Reisinger, Markus - 2006
The industrialization process of a country is often plagued by a failure to coordinate investment decisions. Using the Global Games approach we can solve this coordination problem and eliminate the problem of multiple equilibria. We show how appropriate information provision enhances efficiency....

Network Potentials
Chakrabarti, Subhadip; Gilles, Robert Paul - 2005
A network payoff function assigns a utility to all participants in a (social) network. In this paper we discuss properties of such network payoff functions that guarantee the existence of certain types of pairwise stable networks and the convergence of certain network formation processes. In...
