Title:Targeting interventions in networks Author(s):GALEOTTI, Andrea
; GOLUB, Benjamin; GOYAL, SanjeevDate:2018Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2018/01Abstract:Individuals interact strategically with their network neighbors. A planner can shape incentives in pursuit of an aggregate goal, such as maximizing welfare or minimizing volatility. We analyze a variety of targeting problems ...

Title:Can there be a market for cheap-talk information? : some experimental evidence Author(s):CABRALES, Antonio; FERI, Francesco; GOTTARDI, Piero
; MELÉNDEZ-JIMÉNEZ, Miguel A.Date:2016Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2016/07Abstract:This paper reports on experiments testing the viability of markets for cheap talk information. We find that these markets are fragile. The reasons are surprising given the previous experimental results on cheap-talk games. ...

Title:Characterization and uniqueness of equilibrium in competitive insurance Author(s):FARINHA LUZ, VitorDate:2015Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI MWP; 2015/15Abstract:This paper provides a complete characterization of equilibria in a game-theoretic version of Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976)’s model of competitive insurance. I allow for stochastic contract offers by insurance firms and ...
Title:Imitation and Selective Matching In Reputational Games Author(s):VIGNOLO, ThierryDate:2007Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2007/31Abstract:This paper investigates imitation and selective matching in reputational
games with an outside option. We identify two classes of such games, which
are ultimatum and trust games. By selective matching we mean that ...
Title:Inequality Aversion and Stochastic Decision-making: Experimental Evidence from Zimbabwean Villages after Land Reform Author(s):KOHLER, StefanDate:2007Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:GPRG Working Paper; 2006/61Abstract:Inequality considerations are a motive for making positive offers in the Ultimatum
Game and rejecting small ones, but decision error could have the same effect. I find
evidence for both of these considerations and a ...
Title:Natural Resource Distribution and Multiple Forms of Civil War Author(s):MORELLI, Massimo
; ROHNER, DominicDate:2010Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2010/33Abstract:We examine how natural resource location, rent sharing and fighting capacities of different groups matter for ethnic con.ict. A new type of bargaining failure due to multiple types of potential conflicts (and hence multiple ...

Title:Risk-sharing and contagion in networks Author(s):CABRALES, Antonio; GOTTARDI, Piero
; VEGA-REDONDO, FernandoDate:2013Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2013/01Abstract:The aim of this paper is to investigate how the capacity of an economic system to absorb shocks depends on the specific pattern of interconnections established among financial firms. The key trade-off at work is between ...

Title:The Structure of the Lattices of Pure Strategy Nash Equilibria of Binary Games of Strategic Complements Author(s):RODRIGUEZ BARRAQUER, TomasDate:2012Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI MWP; 2012/24Abstract:It has long been established in the literature that the set of pure strategy Nash equilibria of any binary game of strategic complements among a set N of players can be seen as a lattice on the set of all subsets of N under ...
Title:Learning Strict Nash Equilibria through Reinforcement Author(s):IANNI, AntonellaDate:2007Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECO; 2007/21Abstract:Abstract: This paper studies the analytical properties of the reinforcement learning model proposed in Erev and Roth (1998), also termed cumulative reinforcement learning in Laslier et al. (2001). The stochastic model of ...
Title:Envy can promote more equal division in alternating-offer bargaining Author(s):KOHLER, StefanDate:2012Type:Working PaperSeries/Number:EUI ECOAbstract:Bargainers in an open-ended alternating-offer bargaining situation may perceive envy, a utility loss caused by receiving the smaller share that is modeled in some social preferences in addition to self-interest. I extend ...
