Citizens, Dictators and Networks : A Game Theory Approach
Perez-Oviedo, Wilson Amadeo - 2016
In a society composed of citizens and a dictator: what are the conditions for a successful citizens' revolt? What kind of strategies do governments follow to prevent such revolts? In this paper we argue that the concept of networks is a very powerful tool to understand these issues, as shown...

Divide and conquer : noisy communication in networks, power, and wealth distribution
Pérez Oviedo, Wilson - 2004
In a society composed of a ruler and its citizens: what are the determinants of the political equilibrium between these two? This paper approaches this problem as a game played between a ruler who has to decide the distribution of the aggregate income and a group of agents/citizens who have the...

Selecting Information in Financial Markets : Herding and Opinion Swings in a Heterogeneous Mimetic Rational Agent-Based Model
Vié, Aymeric - 2018
As expectations are driven by information, its selection is central in explaining common knowledge building and unraveling in financial markets. This paper addresses this information selection problem by proposing imitation as a key mechanism to explain opinion dynamics. Behavioral and cognitive...

Coordination with Rational Inattention
Yang, Ming - 2012
We study information acquisition in a coordination game with incomplete information. To capture the idea that players can flexibly decide what information to acquire, we do not impose any physical restriction on feasible information structure. Facing an informational cost measured by reduction...

Hierarchies of belief and interim rationalizability
Ely, Jeffrey C.; Peski, Marcin - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 1 (2006) 1, pp. 19-65
In games with incomplete information, conventional hierarchies of belief are incomplete as descriptions of the players' information for the purposes of determining a player's behavior. We show by example that this is true for a variety of solution concepts. We then investigate what is essential...

Dynamic unawareness and rationalizable behavior
Heifetz, Aviad; Meier, Martin; Schipper, Burkhard - 2011
We define generalized extensive-form games which allow for mutual unawareness of actions. We extend Pearce's (1984) notion of extensive-form (correlated) rationalizability to this setting, explore its properties and prove existence. -- Unawareness ; extensive-form games ; extensive-form...

Prudent rationalizability in generalized extensive-form games
Heifetz, Aviad; Meier, Martin; Schipper, Burkhard - 2011
We define an extensive-form analogue of iterated admissibility, called Prudent Rationalizability (PR). In each round of the procedure, for each information set of a player a surviving strategy of hers is required to be rational vis-a-vis a belief system with a full-support belief on the...
