Several conceptual points are made concerning communication in games of asymmetric information. Equilibrium refinements of Sender-Receiver cheap-talk games that are based on he concept of a putative equilibrium, and which rely on the presence of a rich language with literal meanings, are...

We use the framework of random matching games and develop a two society model to analyze the interaction of societies with different social norms. Each agent repeatedly faces two different coordination games. A social norm of a society is a mode of behavior - strategy - which is adopted by a...

In this paper, we shall provide a theoretical overview of what are the chief implications of fucusing institutions and economic systems, what are the main sources of their evolution, how are their evolutionary paths affected by various economic factors. In the latter half, we shall provide a...

When future international agreement for global environmental control is anticipated, decicions for controlling current carbon gas emissions by improving the country's abatement capabilities are strongly affected by the likelihood of and the likely outcome of such agreements. We construct a two...
