Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) is a government-sponsored microfinance program. The scheme is based on four … features: group lending with joint liability, progressive lending, back-ended subsidy, and social capital. We propose a new … model of SGSY having these features: group lending with individual liability, progressive lending, back-ended subsidy, and …

Coopetition in group contest

Kiss, Hubert J.; Rosa-Garcia, Alfonso; Zhukova, Vita - 2019

There are situations in which competitors ally to pursue a common objective. This simultaneous presence of cooperation and competition is called coopetition and we study it theoretically and experimentally in a group contest setup. More concretely, we analyze a group contest with a new sharing...

Auctioning and selling positions : a non-cooperative approach to queuing conflicts

Brink, René van den; Chun, Youngsub; Ju, Yuan - 2014

Complementary to the axiomatic and mechanism design studies on queueing problems, this paper proposes a strategic bargaining approach to resolve queueing conflicts. Given a situation where players with different waiting costs have to form a queue in order to be served, they firstly compete with...

Spatial Oligopolies with Cooperative Distribution

Sandsmark, Maria - 2009

The main objects here are Nash equilibria in spatial Cournot oligopolies when profits depend on coordinated distribution. Production is non-cooperative, but the subsequent transportation must be performed jointly to minimize costs. Cournot-Nash equilibria for this two-stage game with partial...

Conditional cooperation : type stability across games

Eichenseer, Michael; Moser, Johannes - 2019

In this paper, we use an experimental setup to classify cooperation types using a sequential prisoner's dilemma and a one shot sequential public goods game. In these two games, we examine the within subject stability of cooperation preferences. Our results suggest that subjects classified as...

Identification of individuals and groups in a public goods experiment

Christens, Sven; Dannenberg, Astrid; Sachs, Florian - 2017

Revealing the identities of contributors has been shown to increase cooperation in public goods games. In this paper we experimentally investigate whether this finding holds true when decisions are made by groups rather than individuals. We distinguish between groups in which members can discuss...

Leadership and conditional cooperation in public good games : what difference does the game make?

Cartwright, Edward; Lovett, Denise - 2013

We investigate experimentally whether the extent of conditional cooperation in public good games depends on the marginal return to the public good and type of game. The marginal return is varied from 0.2 to 0.4 to 0.8. The "standard" game, in which three players contribute before a follower, is...

Does expressing disapproval influence future cooperation? : an experimental study

Koukoumelis, Anastasios; Levati, M. Vittoria - 2014

We report on an experiment designed to explore whether a written expression of disapproval affects future levels of cooperation. In between two identical public goods games, participants play a mini dictator game that, depending on the treatment, either gives or does not give the recipient the...

Farsightedness in Games : Stabilizing Cooperation in International Conflict

Brams, Steven J.; Ismail, Mehmet - 2019

We show that a cooperative outcome — one that is at least next-best for the players — is not a Nash equilibrium (NE) in 19 of the 57 2 x 2 strict ordinal conflict games (33%), including Prisoners’ Dilemma and Chicken. Auspiciously, in 16 of these games (84%), cooperative outcomes are...

Behavioral Spillovers in Coordination Games

Sheremeta, Roman M.; Cason, Timothy N.; Samek, Anya - 2012

Motivated by problems of coordination failure observed in weak-link games, we experimentally investigate behavioral spillovers for order-statistic coordination games. Subjects play the minimum- and median-effort coordination games simultaneously and sequentially. The results show the precedent...
