Nevertheless each agent is tempted to free ride … information, job signaling, repeated contribution to the public good and uncertainty in programming. The resulting game does not … programming skills; the startup (and collapse) of an OSS project displays bandwagon dynamics. …

We study identification in static, simultaneous move finite games of complete information, where the presence of multiple Nash equilibria may lead to partial identification of the model parameters. The identification regions for these parameters proposed in the related literature are known not...
