• Information gathering, transaction costs, and the property rights approach AI翻译
  作者：Schmitz, PW

  摘要：The property rights approach to the theory of the firm suggests that ownership structures are chosen in order to provide ex ante investment incentives, while bargaining is ex post efficient. In contrast, transaction cost economics emphasizes ex post inefficiencies. In the present paper, a party may invest and acquire private information about the default payoff that it can realize on its own. Inefficient rent seeking can overturn prominent implications of the property rights theory. In particu...

• The speed of learning in noisy games: Partial reinforcement and the sustainability of cooperation AI翻译

  摘要：In an experiment, players' ability to learn to cooperate in the repeated prisoner's dilemma was substantially diminished when the payoffs were noisy, even though players could monitor one another's past actions perfectly. In contrast, in one-time play against a succession of opponents, noisy payoffs increased cooperation, by slowing the rate at which cooperation decays. These observations are consistent with the robust observation from the psychology literature that partial reinforcement (addi...

• An alternative test of racial prejudice in motor vehicle searches: Theory and evidence AI翻译
  作者：Anwar, S; Fang, HM
  作者单位：Yale University; National Bureau of Economic Research
  摘要：We propose a simple model of trooper behavior to design empirical tests for whether troopers of different races are monolithic in their search behavior, and whether they exhibit relative racial prejudice in motor vehicle searches. Our test of relative racial prejudice provides a partial solution to the well-known inframarginality and omitted-variables problems associated with outcome tests. When applied to a unique dataset from Florida, our tests soundly reject the hypothesis that troopers of ...

• Cardinality versus ordinality: A suggested compromise AI翻译
  作者：Mandler, Michael
  作者单位：University of London; Royal Holloway University London
  摘要：By taking sets of utility functions as primitive, we define an ordering over assumptions on utility functions that gauges their measurement requirements. Cardinal and ordinal assumptions constitute two levels of measurability, but other assumptions lie between these extremes. We apply the ordering to explanations of why preferences should be convex. The assumption that utility is concave qualifies as a compromise between cardinality and ordinality, while the Arrow-Koopmans explanation, suppose...
