An experiment on partnership protocols for bilateral trade with incomplete information

Sopher, Barry; Sopher, Revan - 2013

We study experimentally "partnership protocols" of the sort proposed by Kalai and Kalai (2010), for bilateral trade games with incomplete information. We utilize the familiar game analyzed by Chatterjee and Samuelson (1983) and Myerson and Sattherwaite (1983), with a buyer and seller with value...

Kawamura, Tetsuya - 2019

We design a transboundary public goods (TPG) game, in which participants have simultaneous interaction within and between groups. We design the TPG game under an infinitely repeated situation in order to explore the types of strategies that participants employ in infinitely repeated games. We...
