In this paper we explore the usefulness of a particular model of bounded rationality in the context of voting to show a crucial relationship between uncertainty about players' actions (in the information that voters receive or in how they make their decisions) and levels of turnout. The model...

This paper presents a model of consumer boycotts where the discrete choices of concerned consumers are represented as a stochastic processes. We solve for the limiting distribution of the process and analyze its properties. We then discuss how the model relates to game-theoretic models of...

This paper presents a model of consumer boycotts where the discrete choices of concerned consumers are represented as stochastic processes. Boycotts are interpreted as a form of voting where consumers are trying to shape the behavior of firms. We solve for the limiting distribution of the...
