We test whether deviations from Nash equilibrium in rent-seeking contests can be explained by the slow convergence of payoff-based learning. We identify and eliminate two sources of noise that slow down learning. The first source of noise is present because each action is evaluated against a...

We find that, for sufficiently risk-averse agents, strict dominance by pure or mixed actions coincides with dominance by pure actions in the sense of Börgers (1993), which, in turn, coincides with the classical notion of strict dominance by pure actions when preferences are asymmetric. Since...

I use game-theoretical models to compare a sender's expected payoff under two methods of wielding influence under incomplete information: offering rewards or threatening punishments. Attempts to influence another's behaviour can have the perverse effect of actually encouraging the behaviour that...

We consider an incomplete information network game in which agents’ information is restricted only to the identity of their immediate neighbors. Agents form beliefs about the adjacency pattern of others and play a linear-quadratic effort game to maximize interim payoffs. We establish the...

Na and Shin (1998) showed that the veil of uncertainty can be conducive to the success of self-enforcing international … research efforts worldwide to reduce uncertainty about the environmental impact of emissions and the cost of reducing them … but also partial learning. Second, we test whether the conclusion also holds if there is uncertainty about abatement costs …

For the case of no Uncertainty, multiple Pareto-Ranked equilibria arises. The study of the … game under uncertainty shows that the Pareto-Dominated equilibrium can be selected in equilibrium for sufficiently …
