Bargaining unexplained
Is there a bargaining equilibrium comparable to the equilibrium in the competitive economy? The claim in this paper is that there is not. Bargaining...

Social norms and the indirect evolution of conditional cooperation
We develop a model of social norms and cooperation in large societies. Within this framework we use an indirect evolutionary approach to study the...

The structure of unstable power mechanisms
We study the structure of unstable power mechanisms. A power mechanism is modeled by an interaction form, the solution of which is called a...

Syntactic foundations for unawareness of theorems
We provide a syntactic model of unawareness. By introducing multiple knowledge modalities, one for each sub-language, we specifically model agents...

Progressive and merging-proof taxation
We investigate the implications and logical relations between progressivity (a principle of distributive justice) and merging-proofness (a strategic...

Political influence in multi-choice institutions: cyclicity, anonymity, and transitivity
We study political influence in institutions where each member chooses a level of support for a collective goal. These individual choices determine...

Negatives in symmetric input–output tables: the impossible quest for the Holy Grail
In the Supply-Use (or Make-Use) input–output models, “product-technology” (PT) or “fixed-industry-sales-structure” (FISS) assumptions are more widely...

Saliency of outside options in the lost wallet game
This paper reports an experiment designed to shed light on an empirical puzzle observed by Dufwenberg and Gneezy (Games and Economic Behavior...

On the relationship between hierarchy and type morphisms
Here, we establish a relationship between hierarchy and type morphisms. Both concepts have been used to relate the types in one structure to types in...

International Environmental Agreements with Asymmetric Countries
The paper investigates the stability of International Environmental Agreements (IEAs) in a pollution abatement model with a quadratic cost function....

Environmental degradation, self-protection choices and coordination failures in a North–South evolutionary model
Environmental degradation may lead agents to increase their work effort to replace the consumption of depleted free access environmental goods with...

Indicators of electoral victory
We explore the role that campaign expenditures play in determining electoral outcomes. We study a two-party contest where campaign funds can affect...

Partial memories, inductively derived views, and their interactions with behavior
We explore the inductively derived views obtained by players with partial temporal (short-term) memories. A player derives his personal view of the...

Group contest success functions
This paper extends the axiomatic characterization of contest success functions of Skaperdas (Econ Theory 7:283–290, 1996) and Clark and Riis (Econ...

Persuasion as a contest
We examine how the probability of persuading an audience depends on resources expended by contending parties as well as on other factors. We use a...

Strategic entry deterrence and terrorism: Theory and experimental evidence
Using a two stage rent-seeking framework, we present a simple model of strategic entry/terrorism deterrence and test the model using laboratory...

Distribution of surplus in sequential bargaining with endogenous recognition
I examine a sequential bargaining situation in which agents contest the right to propose an allocation. The contest can either take place at a...

Agreeing to disagree in a countable space of equiprobable states of nature
An example is given in which agents agree to disagree in a countable space of equiprobable states of nature. Even in this unorthodox setting, if the...

Credible deviations from signaling equilibria
In games with costly signaling, some equilibria are vulnerable to deviations which could be “unambiguously” interpreted as coming from a unique set...

Guilt and shame: an axiomatic analysis
Using the machinery of Game Theory, this article analyzes how shame and guilt affect preferences. Based on abundant psychological literature, we...
