摘要：We study a general multiparty model of plurality rule elections with costly participation, and prove that strategic voting - that is, situations in which some voters abandon their most preferred alternative and vote strategically for the serious contender they dislike less - may emerge in equilibrium; just like when participation is costless/compulsory (Palfrey, 1989). This qualifies opposite claims made in more confined setups (e.g. Arzumanyan and Polborn, 2017), and establishes that Duverger...

摘要：We consider a game in extensive form recurrently played by agents who are randomly drawn from large populations and matched. We assume that preferences over actions at any information set admit a smooth-ambiguity representation in the sense of Klibanoff et al. (2005), which may induce dynamic inconsistencies. We take this into account in our analysis of self-confirming equilibrium (SCE) given players' feedback about the path of play. Battigalli et al. (2015) show that the set of SCE's of a sim...

摘要：This paper examines how a commonly experienced cognitive state, sleepiness, impacts choice in a Bayesian task. We implement an ecologically valid sleep manipulation, and our main result is the increased use of a simple reinforcement-heuristic when sleepy. While use of this heuristic leads to errors in difficult decision environments where Bayes rule and reinforcement conflict, it does not harm choice accuracy in easier environments where Bayes rule and reinforcement coincide. Our results overa...

摘要：There are several locations, each of which is endowed with a resource that is specific to that location. Each agent will go to a single location and harvest some of the resource there. Several agents may go to each location, and thereby cause a congestion effect that is modeled in a general way. We assign harvesting rights based on preferences alone, though we later extend the model to accommodate private endowments of money. We find the best allocation rule in the class of rules that are stra...

摘要：The paper introduces an axiomatic characterization of a solution to bargaining problems. Bargaining problems are specified by: (a) the preference relations of the bargaining parties (b) resources that are the subject of bargaining, and (c) a pre-specified disagreement bundle for each party that would result if bargaining fails. The approach is ordinal in that parties' preferences are over bundles of goods and do not imply any risk attitudes. The resulting solution is accordingly independent of...

摘要：Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976) proposed a model of a competitive market with adverse selection and showed that a (pure strategy) Nash equilibrium may not exist. Among the solutions proposed to deal with this problem, a particularly influential one is the notion of Riley (or reactive) equilibrium (Riley, 1979). We give an example that shows that a Riley equilibrium may not exist if consumers are not ordered. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

摘要：This paper theoretically and experimentally studies decision-making in risky and social environments. We explore the interdependence of two decisive behavioral determinants in such environments: risk attitudes and social preferences in the form of inequality aversion. Our model and the data demonstrate that individual risk aversion is attenuated when lagging behind peers, whereas it is amplified under favorable income inequality. Moreover, people's choices are not only context-dependent, but t...

摘要：This paper investigates the role that risk attitudes play in the evolution of conventions in the long run. Risk aversion is shown to be associated with the evolution of maximin conventions, and risk seeking with the evolution of payoff dominant conventions. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.

摘要：The multiple partners game (Sotomayor, 1992) extends the assignment game to a matching model where the agents can have several partners, up to their quota, and the utilities are additively separable. The present work fills a gap in the literature of that game by studying the effects on agents' payoffs caused by the entrance of new agents in the market under both the cooperative and the competitive approaches. The results obtained have no parallel in the one-to-one assignment game. (C) 2019 Els...

摘要：In the context of school choice, we experimentally study how behavior and outcomes are affected when, instead of submitting rankings in the student-proposing or school-proposing deferred acceptance (DA) mechanism, students make decisions dynamically, going through the steps of the underlying algorithms. Our main results show that, contrary to theory, (a) in the dynamic student-proposing DA mechanism, students propose to schools respecting the order of their true preferences slightly more often...
