We address the problem of learning and implementation on the Internet. When agents play repeated games in distributed … environments like the Internet, they have very limited {\em a priori} information about the other players and the payoff matrix … the essential properties that constitute ``reasonable'' learning behavior in distributed environments. We then study the …

Using belief elicitation, the paper investigates the formation and the evolution of beliefs in a signalling game in which a common prior on Sender's type is not induced. Beliefs are elicited about the type of the Sender and about the strategies of the players. The experimental subjects often...

We study the effect of stochastically delayed communication on common knowledge acquisition (common learning). If … messages do not report dispatch times, communication prevents common learning under general conditions even if common knowledge … is acquired without communication. If messages report dispatch times, communication can destroy common learning under …

We apply the dynamic stochastic framework proposed by recent evolutionaryliterature to the class of strict supermodular games when two simplebehavior rules coexist in the population, imitation and myopic optimization.We assume that myopic optimizers are able to see how well their payoff...

One reason for firms to voluntarily increase their environmental or social production standards is to prevent consumers from lobbying for stricter mandatory standards. In this sense, voluntary overcompliance serves as a Greek gift, as consumers might be worse off in the end. Strategically, a...

The use of coarse categories is prevalent in various situations and has been linked to biased economic outcomes, ranging from discrimination against minorities to empirical anomalies in financial markets. In this paper we study economic rationales for categorizing coarsely. We think of the way...
